Whittaker named favorite in Edwards vs. Covington fight

Former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker spoke about the upcoming fight between Leon Edwards And Colby Covington, calling the current champion Edwards the favorite of this confrontation.

“In his last fight, Leon did great against Usman. Therefore, I would call him the favorite against Covington. Yes, this fight makes sense. Because, to be honest, fans want to see Colby fight for the championship, but not Usman,” Whittaker said.

Let us remind you that UFC welterweight champion Edwards and challenger Covington will fight on December 16 at the 296th promotion tournament.
