Khamzat Chimaev is a fighter that likes to keep busy, and right now he has no opponent to face. That's led fans to sound off on Twitter demanding he face Colby Covington next.It was looking like Chimaev was going to fight fellow top five welterweight Belal Muhammad next at UFC 281 in Abu Dhabi. The UFC decided to book Muhammad against up-and-coming fighter Sean Brady instead, leaving Chimaev without a fight on the horizon.Now fans on Twitter suspect a fight between Chimaev and Covington could be in the works. Others made it clear the welterweight contender showdown was the only match worth making.The MMA SIut™️@MMAs1utWith Muhammad-Brady being booked that leaves only one top 5 match up left… Colby vs Khamzat.81With Muhammad-Brady being booked that leaves only one top 5 match up left… Colby vs Khamzat.patrick@ufc406Book it.

But Covington never publicly responded to the plan. In fact, 'Chaos' hasn't been seen or heard from much at all since Jorge Masvidal assaulted him outside a Miami Beach steakhouse in March.While Dana White has said the felony battery court case against Masvidal for attacking Covington won't stop either fighter from competing, there's a chance Covington won't return until after it is resolved. Court documents show 'Chaos' claiming he suffered a brain injury in the attack. If that's true, he may not be in any condition to fight. View this post on Instagram Instagram PostKhamzat Chimaev is calling out everyone in hopes of landing a fightKhamzat Chimaev started out his UFC career by fighting three times in just over two months. A bad bout of COVID-19 kept 'Borz' on the sidelines for a year, but now that he's back, he's clearly been itching to fight more often. After winning fights in October 2021 and April 2022, the Chechen fighter is calling out everyone and anyone for a scrap. Just in the past few days Chimaev called out Alex Pereira, writing:"I’m want to fight with this guy @ufc @danawhite let’s make it"Khamzat Chimaev@KChimaevI’m want to fight with this guy @ufc @danawhite let’s make it 🏼 twitter.com/ufc/status/154…UFC@ufcTop 5 look out, here comes Alex Pereira [ #UFC276 | #UFCFightWeek | Live on ESPN+ PPV: ufc.ac/3OdfkGp ]13244881Top 5 look out, here comes Alex Pereira 😤[ #UFC276 | #UFCFightWeek | Live on ESPN+ PPV: ufc.ac/3OdfkGp ] https://t.co/qfc69dy2vqI’m want to fight with this guy @ufc @danawhite let’s make it 👊🏼💥 twitter.com/ufc/status/154…Why fight the number one contender at middleweight when you can fight the middleweight champion instead? Here's Chimaev calling out Israel Adesanya as well:Khamzat Chimaev@KChimaev7259338https://t.co/96JT26ixUVIt's unlikely Chimaev will end up fighting anyone outside of his current 170 pound weightclass. However, the fact that he's given up on calling out other welterweights gives fans an idea of how difficult it's been for him to find an opponent.
