Gilbert Burns is calling bullsh*t on Colby Covington’s claim that he broke his foot in the first round of his UFC 296 title fight with Leon Edwards.
After nearly two years on the shelf, Covington returned to the Octagon in December and walked straight into a third opportunity to claim welterweight gold. After coming up short on two separate occasions against then-titleholder Kamaru Usman, ‘Chaos’ was confident he had the skills to dethrone reigning champion Leon Edwards. Unfortunately, confidence was not enough. ‘Rocky’ controlled the fight for 25 minutes, stymying Covington’s offense and walking away with a decisive unanimous decision.
