British Leon Edwards depicts the “boring” UFC champion, his fight with the American Colby Covington was not interesting. This opinion was shared with by ASA Vice President Aslanbek Badaev.
Edwards defeated Covington by unanimous decision in a fight in Las Vegas and defended the UFC welterweight title. Former UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev declared his desire to meet the holder of the championship belt.
– Obviously, the fight between Edwards and Covington turned out to be boring. Covington was indecisive, only in the second half of the fight did he more or less resemble his past attitude. But the champion didn’t take any risks, he played until the end. Edwards saw that Covington wasn’t very competitive, but still didn’t increase his speed. He acted pragmatically.
Edwards is a boring fighter and a boring champion. At the same time, he is a good, effective fighter. Islam Makhachev can fight Edwards. Yes, Léon is big, it’s not easy to transfer him, he has a good shot. At the same time, Islam is capable of translating and torturing him. Yes, it will not be easy, but Islam can defeat Edwards,” Badaev told .
