The hype only continued after he knocked out Gerald Meerschaert with one punch and a year later, submitted Li Jingliang at UFC 267 to cement himself as a contender. Yet for Covington, he thinks he would halt all of Chimaev&#8217;s hype and beat him badly, and possibly derail his career.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/SubmissionRadio\/status\/1470266621897834497<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGuys, I don\u2019t think they can sanction that fight legally yet. I think that there\u2019s such a discrepancy in the rankings. I mean, the guy hasn\u2019t even beat anybody in the top 10 yet. I mean, I\u2019ve been in the top 10 for five years now, beating champion after champion,&#8221; Covington said to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SubmissionRadio\/status\/1470266621897834497\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Submission Radio<\/a>. &#8220;So, I don\u2019t even know if a commission would allow this fight to go through. But this fight, the only way it would look would just be complete domination. Colby Covington Incorporated just going out there and ending all that hype.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat same type of hype that all the clickbait journalists, all the MMA media out there put on Street Judas Masvidal,&#8221; Covington continued. &#8220;That same hype. They hype him up, they can\u2019t stop talking about him, and everything\u2019s about this kid, this hype, this hype, and then boom, it gets halted. So, it would get halted in a very violent way. And you don\u2019t want to hurt a kid\u2019s career before he even gets started. So, you send him up here, he\u2019s never going to be the same person again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As of right now, it seems unlikely that Colby Covington and Khamzat Chimaev will fight one another anytime soon. &#8220;Chaos&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/jorge-masvidal\/colby-covington-says-jorge-masvidal-will-get-dumped-on-his-head-and-knocked-the-fk-out-when-they-fight\/\">has his eyes set on Jorge Masvidal<\/a> and Dustin Poirier while Chimaev has been rumored to fight Gilbert Burns.
