Michael Chiesa’s last outing at the UFC Abu Dhabi saw him put an end to his three consecutive loss streak. His rear choke submission handed Tony Ferguson an eighth consecutive defeat. However, now ‘Maverick’ has his sight on Colby Covington.
The ‘Chaos’ faced Leon Edwards at UFC 298 in a losing cause. Ever since then, his return to the MMA circuit has remained questionable. However, Chiesa has now called him out to a potential bout. The ‘Maverick’ said,
“I wanna fight Colby Covington, I have been saying it for years… Are you gonna sit around and do nothing or you gonna come back and fight. Keep your ranking I don’t gave a s**t I just want to find out who is the best in North West.”
