Gilbert Burns, UFC's top welterweight, has spoken out about a title fight in his division between the champion Leon Edwards and applicant Colby Covington. The Brazilian noted that this is a great fight that Covington will win. At the same time, Gilbert noted that this victory would not be easy for Colby.
“I don’t think that victory will be given to him so easily. A lot of missed blows are waiting for him, he will suffer a lot of damage. Leon is very large for our division, tall. In my opinion, he is a much better drummer than Colby. But maybe Colby will still snatch victory through frantic pace and struggle.
