UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards said that he turned to the former division dominator for advice Georges St. Pierre before the fight with Colby Covington at the UFC 296 tournament.
Let us remember that at a press conference before the show, the American, known for his scandalous behavior, allowed himself to touch upon the late father of the Briton.
“I have a lot of respect for George, but I want to surpass his achievements. I am confident that I can do this. By the way, he wrote to me yesterday. After everything that happened at the press conference, I asked him for advice on how to direct energy in the right direction.
I am a young guy striving for greatness. George is the greatest, but I want to surpass him, I have everything for this,” Edwards said.
