Michael Bisping recently offered his take on Colby Covington's future inside the octagon.

'The Count' admitted that although Covington is the No.1 ranked welterweight in the world, there are a number of fights that 'Chaos' could compete in before a trilogy fight against reigning champion Kamaru Usman.

Coming off a dominant unanimous decision victory against Jorge Masvidal at UFC 272, Bisping believes Covington could match up great with the likes of Vicente Luque, Gilbert Burns, Khamzat Chimaev, and more.

'The Count' offered some insight into Covington's potential opponents while in conversation with Anthony Smith on a recent edition of the Believe You Me podcast.

"I would like to see him fight some of those other big f***ing names at 170. There's Vicente Luque. There's [Khamzat Chimaev], there's Gilbert Burns; yes they're fighting. Who else? There's Leon Edwards. I mean, he should be fighting [Kamaru Usman], I don't know if that's going to go ahead. There's lots of other people for Colby Covington to fight that I'm actually really interested in those matchups rather than getting another stab at Kamaru pretty soon."

The former UFC middleweight champion admitted that Covington had featured in high-profile fights against the likes of Tyron Woodley and Rafael dos Anjos.

However, according to Michael Bisping, since both fighters were past their primes, they failed to challenge Covington the way a Chimaev or Burns could.
