Dana White doubled down on his comment that Colby Covington would be the next man to challenge Leon Edwards for the UFC welterweight championship.
After successfully defending his title at UFC 286 earlier this month, ‘Rocky’ was informed that he would be expected to defend his 170-pound crown against the outspoken conservative wrestler later this year. That didn’t sit well with Edwards or most of the MMA community. During an appearance on The MMA Hour, Edwards contradicted his boss, saying that he would not fight Covington next and would instead turn his attention toward a more deserving contender, namely Belal Muhammad.
