Former interim UFC welterweight champion Colby Covington shared his expectations from the fight with the current holder of the full belt Leon Edwards, which will take place on December 16 at UFC 296 in Las Vegas.

“You won’t see me go crazy if I win. I'm ready for the fight and I know that I'm the best welterweight on the planet right now. Everything will go as I plan.

It's not about the goal, it's about the journey. I've had a great journey and achieved a lot. No one knows how hard I worked every day or the sweat and tears I put in. The world is about to awaken, and the haters will be angry,” the official UFC website quotes Covington.
