While revealing the upcoming UFC events, Dana White said about Leon Edwards, “The champ hasn’t lost a fight in eight years and is coming off back-to-back wins over the greatest welterweight of all time - Kamaru Usman. He’s defending his title against Colby Covington, a relentless pressure fighter with unstoppable cardio.”
Kamaru Usman lost to Leon Edwards in August 2022. He made a successful title defence against Usman at UFC 286 in London in March.
