Leon Edwards brother Fabian has explained that Colby Covington's inactivity "doesn't sit right" after the American walked into a world title shot after a year out of action.
The UFC welterweight champion would rather face a more active contender like Belal Muhammad, with whom he has unfinished business from their first fight. But promotional boss Dana White has now on multiple occasions insisted that Covington, whose last win was over Jorge Masvidal back in March of 2022.
And speaking ahead of his own No.1 contender fight, Leon's brother Fabian has said that it's the former interim champion's lengthy period without a fight that concerns them. The bout will now likely take place later this year, with Edwards saying he'd like to fight in Abu Dhabi this October instead of July in London.
