Colby Covington once again gets a shot at gold in the main event of UFC 296.
For Covington (17-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) to become undisputed welterweight champion, he will have to knock off Leon Edwards, who is on an 11-fight winning streak. Edwards (21-3 MMA, 13-2 UFC) claimed and then defended the title in back-to-back bouts against Kamaru Usman.
Covington has held a piece of the title before. He defeated Rafael dos Anjos for the interim strap at UFC 225. Since then, he had two opportunities to win the title, both against the aforementioned Usman, and came up short twice.
