Dos Anjos named favorite for Edwards-Covington fight

Dmitriy Kel Aug. 12, 2023, 7:29 a.m.

Former UFC Lightweight Champion Rafael Dos Anjos weighed the chances of the title holder in the welterweight division Leon Edwards and applicant Colby Covington in the upcoming fight.

The meeting has not yet been officially announced, but according to rumors, it will be added to the card of the UFC 295 tournament, which will be held on November 11 in New York.

“I would give 60 to 40 in favor of Covington. I think that Colby has a slight advantage. He is a basic fighter who is also very good in the stance. And the most important thing is that in the upcoming fight he will more often combine punching and wrestling than Usman did, so he will be the favorite, ”Brazilian MMA Junkie quotes.
