Leon Edwards didn't have to deal with much chaos from Colby Covington at UFC 296.
The UFC welterweight champion defended his title against one of the UFC's biggest heels at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday, taking a unanimous decision win in a fight that was slow-paced in the first few rounds and all but decided in the later rounds.
All three judges scored the fight 49-46 for Edwards.
