Less than a month out from their UFC 296 title fight headliner in December, former interim welterweight champion, Colby Covington has vowed to bring the undisputed crown back to the United States as he prepares to take on long-time rival, British favorite, Leon Edwards.
Covington, the current number three ranked welterweight contender, is slated to headline UFC 296 next month in Las Vegas, Nevada – taking on Birmingham native, Edwards in an undisputed welterweight title fight in the final flagship event of the year for the promotion.
Sidelined since March of last year, the former interim champion landed a one-sided unanimous decision triumph over former title challenger and prior training partner, Jorge Masvidal in the pair’s long-awaited grudge match.
