Colby Covington hopes Leon Edwards title fight is at UFC 295 because ‘Jon Jones is unreliable’

Colby Covington thinks UFC 295 needs a big backup fight – and it should be him.

UFC 295 is headlined by heavyweight champion Jon Jones (27-1 MMA, 21-1 UFC), who defends his title against Stipe Miocic (20-4 MMA, 14-4 UFC) on Nov. 11 at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Covington (17-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) is slated to challenge welterweight champion Leon Edwards (21-3 MMA, 13-2 UFC) next. He hopes their fight lands on UFC 295 because he doesn’t think the UFC can depend on Jones.
