Covington made a prediction for the fight with Edwards

UFC welterweight title contender Colby Covington has no doubt that he will be able to win an early victory over the champion Leon Edwards in the upcoming fight.

The meeting of these fighters will be the main event of the UFC 296 tournament, which will take place on the night of December 17 in Las Vegas.

“I’ve been thinking about this guy for a long time. I can't wait to go out and fight him. I eat, sleep and breathe thinking about this battle. I'm married to this sport. I have neither a wife nor children. I'm completely focused on getting better, so I'm constantly studying my opponents.

I've always said I want to make the biggest, biggest fights the UFC can make for me. We are about to fight for the title of undisputed UFC champion. I see my opponent giving up. In the last fights, no one was able to test him. I know that if I bring him to the brink, then Leon will be smart enough to refuse to continue the fight,” BJ Penn quotes Covington.
