It’s been more than six months since Leon Edwards successfully defended the welterweight world title against ex-champion Kamaru Usman at UFC 286.
Not long after Edwards had dispatched the ‘Nigerian Nightmare’ in their trilogy bout, UFC CEO Dana White revealed that outspoken division standout Colby Covington would be the next man to challenge ‘Rocky’ for the 170-pound crown. Half a year later, the bout still has not happened nor has it even been announced. Covington has been plenty talkative, placing most of the blame on Leon Edwards for the delay, but the champ’s brother offered some insight into why we’ve gotten no official word regarding the welterweight title tilt.
