Leon Edwards is going into his second welterweight world title defense with the belief that his employer wants to see him lose.
Nine months following his decisive decision victory over Kamaru Usman to retain the 170-pound crown, ‘Rocky’ will once again put the strap on the line, this time against a fighter who has already tried and failed on two separate occasions to claim it, Colby Covington.
Nearly two years removed from his victory over Jorge Masvidal at UFC 272, ‘Chaos’ will stumble into yet another title opportunity, a decision that has fighters, fans, and Edwards still scratching their heads.
