UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards I am sure that he will force the former time zone holder to capitulate Colby Covington in the second or third round. Their fight will headline the UFC 296 show, which will take place on the night of December 17 in Las Vegas.

“I think Covington will start pressing right away, like he always does. But I finish him in the second or third round. Either I’ll knock you out, or I’ll force you to surrender. I feel like Colby is too careless for an opponent like me. I’m just much better than him, I sincerely believe that.

His style is based on constantly moving forward, but that's not enough to beat a fighter of my level. I’ll show him this,” Edwards was quoted as saying by MMA Mania.
