The last Ultimate Fighting Championship event of 2023 was a pay-per-view featuring a bevy of big matches. In the UFC 296 main event, UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards faced Colby Covington. Edwards came into the showdown with an incredible 12-fight unbeaten streak, featuring 11 emphatic victories and 1 abbreviated no-contest, having last lost as a 24 year-old in December of 2015 to Kamaru Usman. And of course, Edwards won the welterweight crown against Usman in 2022 with a thrilling last-minute head kick of the great champion, before proving it was no fluke at UFC 286 in March of this year, winning a clear decision in the rubber match, one abysmal scorecard notwithstanding.
