LONDON – Leon Edwards doesn’t think Colby Covington deserves the next title shot.
Welterweight champion Edwards (21-3 MMA, 13-2 UFC) retained his title by defeating Kamaru Usman by majority decision in Saturday’s UFC 286 headliner at The O2. In attendance was Covington (17-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC), who weighed in as a backup and was guaranteed a title shot by Dana White.
But Edwards doesn’t see how Covington, who hasn’t competed in a year, should be next.
