Leon Edwards hs scoffed at the possibility of a championship fight rematch with rival, Belal Muhammad off the back of his unanimous decision win over Colby Covington at UFC 296 over the course of the weekend at UFC 296, claiming the Illinois native doesn’t deserve a chance at gold.
Edwards, the current undisputed welterweight champion, headlined UFC 296 over the course of the weekend in Las Vegas, landing a one-sided unanimous decision (49-46, 49-46, 49-46) win over former interim champion, Covington in the pair’s grudge match.
As for Muhammad, the Roufusport staple has been guaranteed the next shot at divisional spoils following a decision shutout win over former title chaser, Gilbert Burns on short-notice back in May at UFC 288, having previously fought Edwards to boot.
