Rumours are brewing that Colby Covingtion vs Shavkat Rakhmonov is in the works for the near future. I was expecting Colby to retire after he fought and lost to Leon Edwards. Maybe this could be his way back into the title contention and the same would go for Shavkat, who's been undefeated in the UFC.
I can see what the UFC is trying to do here but after what we saw of Covington in his last fight, I'd rather see a match between two prospects. Rakhmonov vs Chimaev imho. I think Rakhmonov will expose Chim and give him a good beating.
But pretty sure Rakhmonov will be eager to fight a vet in Covington. And if Covington agrees with the match up and signs the dotted line, then win or lose I think he'll retire after the fight.
