Khamzat Chimaev congratulated Kamaru Usman after UFC 268 but also warned the champion
Kamaru Usman etched his name in the history books with another win as the UFC Welterweight champion.
The Nigerian Nightmare didn’t have it all his own way at UFC 268 though. He was up against a game Colby Covington and Chaos put on a show.
While Covington struggled a little bit in the first two rounds, he got his hands working and Usman did lose a couple of rounds.
However, the champion kept it cool and fought off the charge with a great fifth and final round. Usman is yet to lose a fight in the UFC but he seems to have a huge target on his back.
No one seems to be able to get the better of him, however, there is another man undefeated in the UFC, Khamzat Chimaev.
The Swede put on another dominant display at UFC 267 and reacted to the win for Usman.
He congratulated Usman but also warned the champion that he was coming for the title. Chimaev also used some emojis for Nate Diaz and Colby Covington, possibly hinting that he wanted a piece.
Khamzat Chimaev hits out at Colby Covington
There is no doubting how great Chimaev has been since making his UFC debut. He is 10-0 in his career and not one of his opponents has been able to lay a glove on him.
Chimaev also started a rivalry with Covington before UFC 268. He posted several photos of Covington being beaten up in the first match against Usman.
Covington had broken his jaw in that fight, but his outing at UFC 268 proved that he is one of the toughest stars out there.
Covington also confirmed he broke his foot at UFC 268 but continued fighting on. It will be interesting to see who he takes on next but Khamzat Chimaev vs Colby Covington does look tasty.
