BIZARRE: Colby covington predicts leon edwards will be a way easier fight than prime kamaru usman - What They Never Told You

Ahead of possibly his last attempt at UFC gold, Colby Covington believes the third time is the charm.

The soon-to-be three-time UFC title challenger headlines the final pay-per-view of the year as he challenges welterweight champion Leon Edwards at UFC 296. Covington (17-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC), a couple of months from turning 36, could potentially be fighting for his last opportunity at an undisputed belt.

Covington failed in his previous two attempts, losing both times to Kamaru Usman. Despite coming up short before, Covington likes his chances, as he thinks that Edwards (21-3 MMA, 13-2 UFC) is a much easier matchup than Usman.
