Daniel Cormier doesn’t like the idea of Khamzat Chimaev vs. Colby Covington . Prior to Chimaev (11-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) outlasting Gilbert Burns in a Fight of the Year contender at UFC 273 in April, UFC president Dana White suggested that Chimaev fight Covington if he wins. However, Cormier sees a matchup between Chimaev and streaking contender Belal Muhammad at UFC 281 in Abu Dhabi as the fight to make, and he explained why on the latest episode of his “DC & RC” podcast on ESPN. “I was gonna say Colby Covington but the reality is, Covington beats Khamzat and Kamaru Usman wins, what do you do?” Cormier said.
