Leon Edwards knows how to defeat ‘Chaos’
Edwards has held the welterweight title for a while now after he ripped it away from Kamaru Usman. Usman himself defeated Covington two times as he defended the title. His style of fighting is all about pressure but for ‘Rocky’ that pressure isn’t going to work.

Many calculate that if Usman beat Covington and Edwards beat Usman, perhaps he has a greater chance against ‘Chaos’. While this UFC math isn’t exactly spot on, Edwards’s style may give him an advantage if he can truly stay on top of Covington’s pacing. Here’s what Gilbert Burns had to say.

“I think he’s going to be able to defend the takedowns and kind of out strike (Covington) because of his precision and he’s got a power, a lot of pop on the kicks and a lot of pops on the hands too so I do think Leon is going to win. I don’t think it’s going to be easy but, I think he’s gonna get it done.” He said in a conversation about the fight.
Do you agree with Burns? He certainly makes some good points. Perhaps it’ll all come out in the open at UFC 296.
