UFC Welterweight Champion Leon Edwards confirmed that his next opponent is likely to be the former interim title holder Colby Covington.

“I’m fine, now I’m training again. Back at the gym, my body feels good. I hope to return to the octagon in October-November. I think my opponent will be Colby Covington, so it's all good.

As for me, I would prefer to fight in Abu Dhabi because it is closer to home. But New York, Madison Square Garden is like a legendary arena, right? So that would also be a good option. There are a lot of Jamaicans in New York, so I would like to fight there too. Both would be good for me, ”ESPN quotes Edwards.
