Colby Covington vs. Leon Edwards Fight Being Considered, Says UFC's Dana White

UFC President Dana White said Friday that he is "looking at" the possibility of a fight between Colby Covington and Leon Edwards, according to ESPN's Brett Okamoto.

If the fight happens, it will pit UFC's No. 2-ranked welterweight contender in Covington against the No. 3 contender in Edwards.

The winner of that fight would then potentially be in line to face the winner of UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman vs. No. 1 contender Gilbert Burns, which is set to headline UFC 258 on Saturday.
