Odds in a fight between an American Colby Covington and British Leon Edwards tied, this is the opinion shared by the Russian UFC middleweight with Roman Kopylov .
Edwards might be surprised by what he showed in his confrontations with Usman. I will be banal: everything can be decided by a moment, a mistake. Here it’s 50/50… Whoever is better prepared and on the side of luck will win,” Kopylov told .
Edwards will defend his UFC welterweight title against Covington in the main event of UFC 296 on Dec. 16 in Las Vegas. Edwards has 21 victories and three defeats, the Briton is on a streak of 11 consecutive victories in the UFC (also during the series there was a fight that was declared invalid). In his last two fights, Edwards defeated Kamaru Usman.
Covington has 17 wins and three losses in MMA. Since December 2019, the American has only fought four fights, losing twice to Usman. In his last fight, Covington defeated Jorge Masvidal in March 2022.
