Six months removed from Leon Edwards‘ unanimous decision victory over Kamaru Usman at UFC 286, we still have no official announcement for when ‘Rocky’ will return to defend the welterweight world title.
Since March, we’ve known that Leon Edwards‘ next opponent would likely be No. 2 ranked contender Colby Covington.
