If the duel between Khamzat Shimaev e Gilbert Durinho has been causing great excitement among MMA fans, on the other hand, the feeling is not the same on the part of the former welterweight challenger (up to 77,1kg) Colby covington. 'Chaos' minimized the confrontation between the two athletes and stated that both were 'not at their level'. The statement was given in an interview with the channel 'Lynch On Sports'.

“I'm not worried about Chimaev. He hasn't won a top yet. Let's talk about facts and truths. You're talking about a guy who's been beating UFC champion after UFC champion. I have four or five UFC champions under my belt. You're talking about a guy who's fighting his first big fight. And this is a guy who is not a true welterweight. Gilbert was knocked out by a lightweight. He shouldn't even be a candidate. I'm not worried about this fight. If that's what the UFC wants to do, if that's the business and the path it wants to take, that means it's another easy paycheck. I'm not worried about the two guys. They are not at my level. I'm the best, the people's pound-for-pound champion. No one will stop me. I’m in my prime, getting better every day,” Covington said.
The duel between Chimaev and Durinho will be the third to last on the main card of the UFC 273, behind only the two title fights. The show will take place next Saturday (09), at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida (USA).
