British mixed martial fighter Leon Edwards believes that if American Colby Covington wants to get a rematch with Nigerian UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman, that he will have to face him.
“If Colby Covington wants a title fight, then he has to beat someone like me. I’m in 3rd place in the rankings, he lost to the champion and defeated Woodley, who is no longer capable of anything. Therefore, I do not understand why he runs away from me if he is chasing the champion title. Masvidal and Usman will have a rematch, so Colby has no choice but to face me.
All the guys from the top five of the rating shy away from me. They say that I’m not popular enough and all that. In fact, they just know they will lose to me. I am ready to fight any of the opponents who are in the top five.
This also applies to Covington. He said a lot of different nasty things about me on social networks, but at the same time he does not agree to the fight. So let him stop being a coward. Let’s get the job done, ”said Leon Edwards.
