Chael Sonnen is uncertain about Colby Covington’s future after UFC 296.
Covington (17-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC) fell short in his third crack at undisputed gold when he lost a unanimous decision to welterweight champion Leon Edwards (22-3 MMA, 14-2 UFC) in this past Saturday’s main event at T-Mobile Arena.
UFC play-by-play commentator Jon Anik suggested Shavkat Rakhmonov next for Covington, which Covington shut down at the post-fight news conference. Sonnen doesn’t see Covington climbing the ladder and wonders if he’ll ever fight again.
