Leon Edwards ‘trying to get Colby Covington’ fight, move on from Belal Muhammad

Following the fiasco that was the no-contest against Belal Muhammad, Leon Edwards appears to have come to terms with the reality that a title shot is not going to happen anytime soon.

Unless, that is, he manages to find another contender in line to take out.

In a recent episode of Joe Rogan’s podcast, Edwards revealed that he and his team are focused on a matchup against former title challenger Colby Covington, currently standing at #1 in the UFC’s official rankings. Not only that, but he wants that fight as soon as humanly possible.
