Like twinkling neon lights illuminating a mythic Sin City night, the thrilling echoes of UFC 296 unfolded within the famed edges of the Octagon. The headline-grabbing spectacle witnessed an unflinching Leon Edwards robustly maintaining his grip on the welterweight belt.
In a tussle that turned the heat down on what was promised, Edwards danced the dance of a composed, tactical fighter, outfoxing the former interim champ - the always fearsome Colby Covington. Going against expectation, Leon eschewed his striking prowess, opting instead for the craft of the wrestle. Countering Covington was his game, and game he was, blocking takedown attempts with aplomb.
