Cejudo predicted the result of the Edwards-Covington fight

Former UFC champion in two weight classes Henry Cejudo explained why the promotion's welterweight division will gain a new champion at UFC 296.

Let us remind you that on December 16 at the final number show of this year in Las Vegas Leon Edwards will defend his title in a fight with Colby Covington.

“Covington has only one style: wrestling and knitting. Yes, he has a boring fighting style, he just hugs your legs, but Colby finishes his opponents.

I think this is the perfect fight for Covington. It seems to me that we will have a new champion. And I don’t think Edwards’ defense against takedowns will be enough in a fight with a guy like Colby,” MMA News quotes Cejudo.
