Covington Reveals His Biggest Fear Before Fighting Edwards

Dmitriy Kel Oct. 6, 2023, 2:50 a.m.

Former UFC interim welterweight title holder Colby Covington very much doubts that the current full-fledged champion Leon Edwards will go out with him for the scheduled duel.

Let us remind you that the meeting of these fighters should headline the UFC 296 tournament, which will take place on December 16 in Las Vegas.

“The biggest issue is whether Edwards will show up. He always stands on the sidelines and asks to postpone the fight. He asks for a year or two and only then wants to fight. So the only thing I really care about is whether he will fight.

No matter what happens, on December 16th I will become the champion. I'm here to do the biggest and best business for the UFC. This is an organization that I love, I’m going to work for it for the rest of my life,” MMA Junkie quotes Covington.
