“To be quite honest, I believe I can beat these guys. If you mess up, even both of you on the same night”, assured the athlete, in an interview with 'ESPN'.
Protagonists of UFC 272, Covington and Masvidal promoted the clash between former best friends. After much provocation between the parties, the fight ended up not being marked by aggression, but rather by extensive dominance from Colby, who nullified his rival for five rounds, but did not shine.
Considered a bet by Ultimate for the future of the organization, Makhachev still needs to prove himself within the division led by Charles of the Bronx. In his last commitment, the Russian went through Bobby Green and reached third place in the group.
In the UFC since 2015, Islam is experiencing his best moment in the company. Today, the athlete has 10 consecutive victories and is one of the favorites for a future title fight in the group.
