Khamzat Chimaev vs. Colby Covington has all the makings of a classic but Robert Whittaker thinks it’s a terrible matchup for Covington on paper.
Whittaker thinks Covington will do a great job selling the fight in the media but that, come fight night, he will get dominated and lose badly due to Khamzat being able to stuff the majority of his takedowns and dictate where the action takes place.
‘The Reaper’ is looking forward to the proposed No. 1 contender’s bout from an entertainment perspective but thinks it’s a huge mismatch in favor of Khamzat, who is considered one of the most naturally talented fighters in the UFC and a potential future champion.
