UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev explained why in the upcoming title fight a division higher between the title holder Leon Edwards And Colby Covington he will be on the side of the latter.

“I hope Covington wins because Leon never talked about fighting me. I never once heard Edwards say that he wanted to meet with me. I know for a fact that Colby is interested in this. That's why I wish Covington to win.

It's going to be a great fight, the guy has a good fight. This will be a confrontation between the United States and Dagestan. Covington is a great fighter. “He has good wrestling skills and excellent physical shape, but I am able to transfer him and shower him with blows,” BJ Penn quotes Makhachev.
