Makhachev accepts Covington's wrestling and padel challenge

Islam Makhachev has accepted Colby Covington's challenge to a wrestling match and a padel game. Covington had challenged him to a wrestling bout, and Makhachev did not take long to decide.

Makhachev said they will wrestle and play padel. He said he believes Covington has no chance in either, and added that he would put another $100,000 on top.

Covington, for his part, proposed directing the proceeds from the bout to charity. Makhachev, with a 29-1-0 record, is the UFC welterweight champion, while Covington holds a 17-5-0 record.
