Colby Covington: Leon Edwards 'should hang them up' after UFC London loss

Colby Covington questions Leon Edwards’ desire to compete after UFC Fight Night 255.

Former welterweight champion Edwards (22-5 MMA, 14-4 UFC) was stopped for the first time in his career when he was submitted by Sean Brady in Saturday’s main event at The O2 in London. Covington (17-5 MMA, 12-5 UFC), who rallied late in a title loss to Edwards at UFC 296, thinks Edwards doesn’t have the fire in him anymore.

“I kind of thought that after I fought Leon, the motivation wasn’t there anymore,” Covington told Submission Radio.
