Colby Covington vs Leon Edwards Betting Odds
One of the most polarizing fighters in the history of the UFC - Colby Covington - will be fighting for the Welterweight title on December 16th, 2023 when he takes on champion Leon Edwards in the main event.
The Trump-loving Covington has established himself as one of the "bad boys" in the UFC, while champion Leon Edwards has built his brand as the underdog.
Edwards solidified himself as one of the best fighters in the world when he beat Kamaru Usman not once, but twice, while Covington was never able to defeat Usman.
Both men are extremely tough and experienced. Covington has fantastic wrestling and possesses one of the best gas tanks in the UFC, while Edwards has shown that he will never wilt under pressure.
This gives us all of the ingredients for a potential FOY candidate.
