Colby Covington sets weight condition for potential Khamzat Chimaev RAF match

Colby Covington is calling for a 185-pound weight limit for a potential wrestling match against Khamzat Chimaev in Real American Freestyle. Covington has maintained a perfect 4-0 record in the promotion, recording victories over Luke Rockhold, Chris Weidman, Dillon Danis, and Arman Tsarukyan. While he prepares for an upcoming match against Belal Muhammad later this month, Covington has expressed interest in facing Chimaev if the weight class is mutually agreed upon. Covington stated that he refuses to concede a 30-pound weight advantage to Chimaev, insisting that 185 lbs is a fair standard given their professional backgrounds. Chimaev currently holds a 1-0 record in the RAF circuit. Negotiations remain pending as both parties address these weight requirements.
