Chandler made a prediction for the Edwards-Covington fight

Dmitriy Kel Dec. 15, 2023, 2:35 a.m.

American UFC lightweight Michael Chandler analyzed the upcoming title fight in the welterweight division between the champion Leon Edwards And Colby Covington, which will take place on the night of December 17 at the UFC 296 tournament in Las Vegas.

“Colby brings a force to be reckoned with in every fight. His cardio is incredible. I have to be honest: Edwards' first win over Kamaru Usman was a fluke, and the second wasn't dominant.

Edwards probably gained some extra confidence after these fights, but if I had to make a bet, I would choose Colby's side. He has a wider arsenal and more ways to win. I believe that Leon will not be able to defend against takedowns. He won't be able to handle Colby's pace. “I doubt that Edwards will be able to land the accurate high kick that he did in his first fight with Usman,” MMA Mania quotes Chandler as saying.
