“The undisputed champion and best fighter in the world is known to all. I am that. Colby “Chaos” Covington is who you see. It’s a lovely thing. I consider myself extremely fortunate to be in this situation, and if Conor and I were to square off, it would be the biggest title match in the organization’s history.Plus, two million people purchased pay-per-views. That would be disastrous. It would be amazing. The UFC could never do more business, and the timing couldn’t be more perfect. just before Donald Trump will return to power in 2024.

Return of Colby Covington: Leon Edwards claims “Chaos” is unworthy of a title match

Colby Covington isn’t worthy of a title chance, according to Leon Edwards, who recently revealed his opinion. Edwards successfully made his first title defense at UFC 286. Citing “Dana White privilege,” Edwards recently suggested that Covington’s inactivity doesn’t earn a shot at the belt.

‘Rocky’ remarked in a conversation with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour:

He won’t be given the title shot in the upcoming fight, I can assure you of that. He is being rewarded for avoiding the brawl with Khamzat Chimaev. I was eliminated from the rankings when it was me. The Dana White privilege exists, without a doubt.
