AKA head coach Javier Mendez spoke about the fight between the UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards And Colby Covington, which will take place on December 16 at the UFC 296 tournament in Las Vegas.

According to the specialist, he previously considered Covington the favorite for the fight, but has now changed his mind.

“We recently spoke with Ali Abdel-Aziz about this, and I told him that I was confident that Colby would win. However, now I'm thinking about it and I'm not so sure anymore. A very unpredictable fight.

Edwards may have some tricks up his sleeve. The fight often goes far from how we see it. If I had trained Leon, I could have been more precise. But I don’t work with him, so I don’t know,” Mendes said in a release on his YouTube channel.
