Combat sports and MMA fans will be able to enjoy the last UFC event of the year, as UFC 296 will be taking place this weekend with quite a few exciting fights that will be headlined by the main event between the UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards and Colby Covington.
Edwards became the division champ when he defeated Kamaru Usman back in August 2022. The Jamaica-bred star was losing the fight after four rounds of action but in the fifth and last, an incredible kick landed on Usman’s face and knocked him out in one of the most spectacular and unexpected title fight finishes ever. After that, both men met again in a much-anticipated rematch, and then Edwards was the better fighter, recording a unanimous decision win.
Before Usman and Edwards met in the octagon, Covington had the chance of becoming the welterweight champion, as he faced The Nigerian Nightmare before, but he lost the fight via TKO in the fourth round in November 2021. After that fight, he defeated Jorge Masvidal on points in a five-round fight, but Chaos hasn’t been active since then.
