Colby Covington expected to retire with UFC 296 loss to Leon Edwards: ‘He’s got a murderer’s row coming up’

Former interim welterweight champion, Colby Covington has been tipped to likely call time on his mixed martial arts career by veteran challenger, Matt Brown – if he drops a loss to Leon Edwards at UFC 296 in December.
