Dmitriy Kel Nov. 24, 2023, 1:09 a.m.

UFC welterweight title contender Colby Covington spoke about the fight with the champion Leon Edwards, which will take place on December 16th in the main event of UFC 296 in Las Vegas.

“He was just screaming that he deserved a title shot instead of working for a championship shot and earning it like I did. I had to make a difficult road to get to him.

Nobody gave me this opportunity on a silver platter. I had to earn it. I had to take an unusual route because the direct route was not available. He didn’t earn it, didn’t walk such a difficult road like I did. And on December 16th he will find out that the American dream will break him,” Covington said in an interview with the UFC.
