‘How Idiot and Dumb He Sounds’- Khamzat Chimaev’s Coach Goes After Colby Covington for His Recent Comments

Colby Covington is undoubtedly one of the most skilled fighters in the UFC. Many fight fans consider him to be the best pound-for-pound welterweight fighter after Kamaru Usman. As of November 2021, Covington stands first in the UFC’s welterweight division rankings. Even though Colby is one of the best fighters in the sport, he is not that beloved and respected in the community.

Colby is infamous for his trash-talking and his notorious comments. He certainly lives up to his moniker, ‘Chaos’. Colby recently made comments on the Swedish fighter, Khamzat Chimaev after his fight against Kamaru Usman.

Recently, Khamzat Chimaev’s BJJ trainer appeared in an interview with Sherdog and had a few things to say about Colby Covington’s trash talk. Sherdog talked exclusively with Alan “Finfou” Nascimento. ‘Finfou’ is Khamzat Chimaev’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu coach.

Nascimento said– “A guy like Colby, you can see how idiot and dumb he sounds. Listen to the moment when he say like ‘a flu’ that disease (COVID-19) have been killing a lot of people all over the world. And he just say that Chimaev almost quit because of a flu. The guy, he just not even know what he’s talking about. You know he’s just being a clown now.’

‘Want to have the attention. Once you have the camera in front of him, he say a lot of bulls*it. But then when the cameras are not there and people confront him, he doesn’t he doesn’t act as tough anymore.”

“He not even know what he’s talking about. he just once you turn on the camera, he tried to put on a show. You know, I hope one day, I really hope and wish, one day he can fight against Chimaev. and I know that Khamzat have a big chance to beat the shit out of him”

What’s next for Khamzat Chimaev?

Khamzat Chimaev is currently on a roll in the UFC. The Swedish fighter has put on dominant performances consecutively and is one of the most entertaining fighters on the roster right now. Khamzat currently has 10 wins and no losses in his professional career. After his win over China’s Li Jingliang, it is certain that is the next opponent will be someone who is higher in the welterweight rankings.

It is highly likely that Khamzat could take on Leon Edwards as a replacement fighter for Jorge Masvidal. Masvidal backed out of their upcoming fight at UFC 270 due to an undisclosed injury.

Khamzat has shown his interest in fighting Edwards, and this might very well happen if Dana White approves. There were also rumors of Chimaev vs. Nate Diaz, which Dana White appeared to be interested in. The ‘Borz’ has stated that he is ready to fight at any time and that he intends to work his way up to the title.
