Top UFC welterweight Colby Covington addressed the promotion's welterweight champion, Brit Leon Edwards, who previously said the American doesn't deserve a title fight.
Colby Covington
Leon, man, stop hiding. You gotta come out and defend your f*ing country. Prove you're the real champion. I'll beat him in every aspect. I'm better at wrestling, I'm better at stand-up, I'm better at jiu-jitsu. So first I'll wear him down, and then I'll break him down. I'll break his will, and you'll see that. He knows what's going to happen: he's going to be broken in front of the whole world.
Edwards had his last fight against Usman on the night of March 19 at UFC 286. Leon won that fight by majority decision. He has 21 wins and three losses under his belt.
Covington last fought Jorge Masvidal at UFC 272 in March of 2022. That fight lasted the entire distance and ended in Colby's favor by a unanimous decision of the judges. He has 17 wins and three losses under his belt.
