Leon Edwards: ‘There’s no clear No. 1 competitor’ When UFC welterweight champ Leon Edwards takes a look at the 170-pound department, he does not see a clear competitor for his next title defense. UFC president Dana White has actually asserted that Colby Covington will get the next title shot, however Edwards does not believe ‘Chaos’ deserves it. “At the minute, in the department, there’s no clear top competitor,” Edwards informed Sky Sports. “Colby is coming off 2 loses, one win. Gilbert [Burns] comparable … These people are winning one battle, losing one battle, and after that defending a wold title. It’s a hard time. Like I stated, there’s no clear top competitor.” “Colby being unscathed, resting on the sidelines, denying defend over a year. No one else has actually done that and made a title shot from doing that,” stated Edwards. “That’s the why not … He hasn’t made his position. You can’t take a seat unscathed over a year declining battles and after that, fine, I desire a title shot now. That’s never ever been done prior to. Now I’m champ. I choose. Colby isn’t a champ. He do not choose absolutely nothing.” It’s not actually about the challenger to Edwards. ‘Rocky’ needed to assemble a long winning streak prior to he made his title shot. “The video game is the video game. There’s constantly going to be somebody next. If I really think that I am primary I need to have the ability to deal with these men and beat these men. And I do think that I am primary, so it’s practically making it make good sense,” he stated. “If it’s Colby, then it is Colby. It is what it is,” continued Edwards. “The order, let’s state who’s next, Burns, Colby, Belal [Muhammad]whoever else. They’re all comparable battles. They’re all going to include the exact same tactical plan. It’s all the very same. It’s not about the challenger. There’s not fear for Colby. There’s absolutely nothing that’s afraid of Colby.” Colby Covington disparages Brazilians, as Leon Edwards looms in London
