Colby Covington expects to drown Leon Edwards when they fight.
Covington was declared the No. 1 contender for welterweight champion Edwards and thinks he’s a bad stylistic matchup for him. Covington weighed in as a backup for Edwards’ title defense against Kamaru Usman earlier this month at UFC 286 in London, but Edwards doesn’t think Covington is worthy of a shot.
Covington (17-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) is convinced Edwards (21-3 MMA, 13-2 UFC) is ducking him, and doesn’t see him having the cardio to hang with him.
