UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards said that Colby Covington will pay for the words about his late father. Recall that the fighters will meet in the octagon on the night of December 17 as part of the UFC 296 tournament.
During the press conference, Covington addressed Edwards, saying that he will send him to hell where he can say hello to his father.
That man is as good as dead tomorrow. Make sure you keep everything you said about my dad, because tomorrow we settle it.
Edwards last fought against Kamaru Usman in March of this year at UFC 286. In that confrontation, Leon won by majority decision. He has 21 wins and three losses on his record.
Covington last entered the octagon against Jorge Masvidal in March 2022 at UFC 272. That fight went the full distance and ended in Colby's favor with a unanimous decision from the judges. He has 17 wins and three losses on his record.
