‘You’re Struggling With a Lightweight Journeyman’- Colby Covington Trolls Leon Edwards for Almost Getting Finished by Nate Diaz

Leon Edwards and Nate Diaz put on a war over five rounds at UFC 263. Edwards dominated most of the fight and thankfully survived a last-minute scare to secure a unanimous decision win over Nate Diaz at UFC 263. With the win, ‘Rocky’ extended his win streak to 9-0 and makes a legitimate claim to be next in line for a title shot at welterweight. Colby Covington however, does not believe ‘Rocky’ deserves a title shot next. 

In a recent interview with Submission Radio, the host asked ‘Chaos’ what he made of Edwards’ performance against Nate Diaz. And if the performance warranted a title shot.

Can Leon Edwards beat Colby Covington to a title shot?

Covington is slated for a shot at the title. ‘Chaos’ is the number one contender in the division and therefore, a fight between him and Usman would be a no-brainer. 

However, Edwards has an impressive nine-fight win streak. And also makes a strong case for a title shot. Dana White has stated multiple times that Covington is next in line. However, the champion Kamaru Usman is not particularly interested in facing Covington and he has made that very clear since he has not seen any activity from ‘Chaos’. 

Given that Covington has in the past been snubbed for a title fight, it won’t be surprising if it happens again. However, the chances are slim to none given how vocal White has been about Covington deserving the next title shot.
