Undisputed welterweight champion, claims incoming foe, Colby Covington is in for a “rude awakening” come Saturday night at UFC 296 – as he prepares to attempt to defend his divisional crown for the second occasion.
Edwards, the current undisputed welterweight champion, returns to the Octagon this weekend in the main event of UFC 296 – taking on former interim titleholder, Covington in the pair’s long-awaited title fight grudge match.
Birmingham native, Edwards has been sidelined since he took main event honors at UFC 286 back in March in the UK, landing a close, majority decision win over three-time foe, Kamaru Usman in the pair’s rubber match trilogy in London.
