Colby Covington believes he would dispatch Islam Makhachev within three rounds should they ever square off inside the Octagon.
The often controversial love-him-or-hate-him welterweight contender is slated for a 170-pound title fight against reigning champion Leon Edwards later this year. When and where that takes place is still yet to be determined, but Colby Covington has kept busy in the interim, calling out practically every other fighter on the roster. That includes lightweight titleholder Islam Makhachev.
Speaking with James Lynch in a LowKick MMA exclusive interview, Colby Covington was asked how he sees things playing out in a potential superfight between himself and the Dagestani destroyer.
