Top UFC lightweight Arman Tsarukyan named the favorite in the upcoming fight between the organization's middleweight champion Leon Edwards and Colby Covington.
“In the fight between Edwards and Covington, I consider Colby a slight favorite, since he has a slightly better fight. I don’t know what form he’s in at the moment, he hasn’t fought in a long time, but Leon Edwards is at his peak, he beat Kamaru Usman twice, who also fights very well. So this is a very interesting fight, but with a small margin I would still choose Covington,” Tsarukyan said.
Let us remind you that the Edwards-Covington fight will take place on December 16 as part of UFC 296.
