The legendary referee named the favorite in the fight between Edwards and Covington

Legendary referee John McCarthy named UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards favorite in the upcoming fight with Colby Covington.

“Colby has suffered two losses in his last five fights. How many defeats has Leon Edwards had in recent years? He has only one controversial fight, which was declared invalid due to a poke in the eye, and all the rest were victories. He beat the guy Colby lost to. To be honest, there is not a single fighter in the top 15 right now that Covington could beat..." John said.

Let us remind you that the confrontation between Edwards and Covington will take place on December 16 and will headline UFC 296.
