UFC welterweight title contender Colby Covington has no doubts about his victory over Leon Edwards and is already thinking about who he will defend the belt against first.

“Nobody deserves a title shot more than this racist. This is a small Mongul, he says that he wants to fight in the weight category of real men. I’m talking about Islam Makhachev now.

He's now fighting small midgets and barely defeating them by split decision, with great difficulty avoiding a draw. It's a pitiful sight. He says he wants to move up to the division with real men. I think it's real. This is a loud fight. The fans want to see him,” BJ Penn quotes Covington.
