Stephen Thompson is backing Leon Edwards to come out on top in a welterweight title clash with Colby Covington.
‘Wonderboy’ is back in action on Saturday night as the promotion heads to the Delta Center in Salt Lake City for UFC 291. Thompson will look to build on his win against Kevin Holland in December as he faces flashy welterweight standout Michel Pereira as part of a stacked main card.
Ahead of his highly anticipated return to the Octagon, Stephen Thompson spoke with members of the media to discuss the state of the welterweight division, including the proposed title tilt between division champion Leon Edwards and perennial contender Colby Covington.
