Colby Covington has asserted that Khamzat Chimaev is an “easier” puzzle to solve, and he knows exactly how to dethrone the newly minted UFC middleweight kingpin.
Chimaev, the Chechen phenom, dethroned then-champion Dricus du Plessis at UFC 319 by unanimous decision. He dominantly won the championship, with 21 minutes and 40 seconds of control time, 529 strikes, and 12 takedowns.
‘Borz’ is a puzzle no one in the UFC middleweight division has been able to solve so far. However, Covington, who has lost three of his last four fights and loves to play the heel, believes he knows how to counter Chimaev’s pressure and immaculate ground game.
