Khamzat Chimaev has called out Colby Covington despite recently teasing a move to middleweight. Over the course of his six-fight run with the Ultimate Fighting Championship, it’s safe to say Khamzat Chimaev has built himself into a pretty big star.

Between fighting at 170 and 185, ‘Borz’ has made a habit out of smashing every single opponent that steps in his way – barring Gilbert Burns, with the Brazilian making him work harder than he ever has to pick up the win.

In his most recent outing at UFC 279 earlier this month, Chimaev tore through Kevin Holland in a catchweight bout and took just over two minutes to do so.

While it was impressive, it was slightly overshadowed by the fact that the Swede missed weight for his scheduled main event against Nate Diaz by 7.5 pounds.
