Former interim UFC welterweight champion Colby Covington said that he broke his leg in the first 30 seconds of his fight with Leon Edwards and will prove it soon.
Recall, Covington lost to Edwards by unanimous decision of judges in the main event of UFC 296 in Las Vegas (USA).
I broke my foot in the first 30 seconds of the fight. People don't know about that yet, the X Rays will start coming up. First minute of the fight, I have the picture on my phone of the exact moment it landed on his elbow. So, I feel like I beat him.
