Colby Covington has accused Leon Edwards of repeatedly grabbing the fence during his UFC 286 win over Kamaru Usman.
Edwards was looking to retain his title after snatching the belt from Usman last year with a stunning final-round KO. He successfully defended the belt in a trilogy match-up last weekend, this time outpointing his rival on the judges' scorecards.
But despite earning the decision, it was not all plain sailing for Edwards who was deducted a point by referee Herb Dean after grabbing the cage to prevent being taken down in the third round. This was not the only warning 'Rocky' received given he also held the gloves of the Nigerian, in addition to landing two separate shots deemed to be low blows.
