It appears Leon Edwards’ wait for his next bout will continue after Colby Covington has expressed a strong disinterest in fighting him.
After Leon Edwards vs. Khamzat Chimaev was canceled for the third time, Dana White and the UFC made the decision to move on and seek another opponent for Edwards. White openly named Colby Covington as the opponent the promotion had in mind for Edwards in what would be a #1-contenders fight for an opportunity to challenge welterweight champion Kamaru Usman. Unfortunately for both Edwards and the UFC, Covington’s mind seems to be made in the opposite direction.
