Gilbert Burns, a former contender for the UFC welterweight title, gave a forecast for the upcoming fight between the current champion of the organization in this weight Leon Edwards And Colby Covington.

“Leon has fast hands and great kicks. I think he will be able to defend against takedowns and outwork Covington with his accuracy and more power. He has incredibly biting punches and kicks, as if he were hitting with a whip. So I believe Leon will win. It won’t be easy, but I think he can handle it,” said the Brazilian fighter.

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