UFC welterweight Leon Edwards says ‘f-ck Colby Covington’, calls for title shot against Kamaru Usman

Colby Covington feels he is being untreated fairly by the UFC and wasn’t offered enough money to fight Kamaru Usman for the welterweight title, but British welterweight Leon Edwards couldn’t care less.

Now that a title bout between Usman and Covington is likely off the cards, and Masvidal is scheduled to take on Nate Diaz for the ‘BMF’ belt, ‘Rocky’ has turned his attention ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’.

Speaking to MMA Fighting’s Damon Martin in a recent interview, Edwards said he would like to avenge his 2015 loss to Usman and capture the official UFC welterweight title in the process.
