Volkanovski named favorite in fight between Edwards and Covington

Alexandr Ormanji Dec. 14, 2023, 2:55 p.m.

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.
