What’s Next For The Chaos?

Colby Covington is coming off a very dominant decision win over Jorge Masvidal. With the win over Masvidal it has opened the door for multiple opponents and opportunities for Covington. I would personally like to see him against Dustin Poirier and I believe they would both make tons of money from that fight. I understand they are in two different divisions but both in similar spots both fought for the belt twice and lost. Poirier beat Conor McGregor who is the biggest star in the UFC and Covington beat Jorge Masvidal who is one of the biggest stars in the UFC. So they’re both in similar circumstances and have bad blood which would make for a great main event and fight.

Also I wouldn’t mind seeing him put on some muscle and try fighting at middleweight and fight Israel Adesanya. Since Adesanya has already cleared out the division and does need new opponents to face but however seems like the most unlikely option to happen. I think the UFC will make him stay at Welterweight and face the winner of Gilbert Burns VS. Khamzat Chimaev. Which will be a spectacular fight whomever he faces. The UFC might also offer him the winner of Belal Muhammad VS. Vicente Luque which wouldn’t be his best option in my opinion. Another option for Covington would be a third title shot against the champion Kamaru Usman. Which seems realistic even though he’s lost twice to him already but I think that fight will always be marketable no matter how many times Covington loses. They naturally make for a very great and competitive fight and that’s why him getting another titled shot can happen. I believe with his win over Masvidal, Covington has many options and opportunities that will present themselves and I am looking forward to his next fight.
