UFC welterweight contender Khamzat Chimaev has criticized Colby Covington, claiming his rival is "just trying to make his last money" with RAF. The comments were reported by MMA Junkie's Farah Hannoun on Friday.

Chimaev, who remains undefeated in his professional MMA career, directed the remarks toward former interim welterweight champion Covington. The context surrounding the reference to RAF was not detailed in the initial report.

Both fighters have been linked to potential matchups in the UFC's 170-pound division, though no official bout has been announced between them.
