Covington Turns to Edwards: "I'm Taking the Belt Back to America"

Contender for the UFC welterweight championship belt Colby Covington addressed his next opponent, the champion of the promotion in this weight Leon Edwards.

“Tick tock, Leon, three weeks left. Everyone knows that you didn’t want this fight, just as the British didn’t want to give us freedom here in America, and we took it away. On December 17th the same thing will happen. I will take this belt back to America. And you'll return to the UK empty-handed, lad. See you soon,” Covington said.

Let us remind you that the confrontation between Covington and Edwards will take place on December 16 as part of UFC 296.
