Leon Edwards, UFC welterweight champion, shared his opinion about his opponent Colby Covington.

“I’m upset that I couldn’t finish it. I had several opportunities to choke Covington, but he is a strong opponent. "He had two close fights with Kamaru Usman, so he's a great fighter, but he's just a terrible person," Edwards said.

Let us remind you that this morning in the main event of UFC 296, Edwards won a decision against Covington.
