Covington: 'I'll take what's mine on December 16th'

Dmitriy Kel Dec. 6, 2023, 2:10 a.m.

Former interim UFC welterweight champion Colby Covington explained why he must take the belt from the current full-fledged champion Leon Edwards. Their confrontation will headline UFC 296, which will take place on December 16 in Las Vegas.

“I consider myself a champion. Which fighter does Donald Trump still come to shake hands with? Which other fighter has been in the current president's Oval Office? Which fighter headlined tournaments on the country's main arena? No one comes close to my achievements.

Therefore, I am the champion and on December 16th I will simply take back what is mine. I will cement my legacy,” MMA Mania quotes Covington as saying.
