Volkanovski named favorite in fight between Edwards and Covington

Alex Volkanovski, UFC featherweight champion, shared his opinion on the upcoming fight between Leon Edwards And Colby Covington.

“Leon Edwards is the favorite and he should be after beating a guy like Kamaru Usman twice. Especially considering that Colby Covington is a wrestler and likes to apply pressure, which makes him stylistically similar to Usman. Leon can win by knockout, he can definitely win by decision, and I wouldn’t rule out the possibility that he could finish Colby by submission – his ground skills shouldn’t be underestimated,” Volkanovski said.

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