Covington, who once had a strong winning momentum, is now in a contradictory position regarding his current form. After UFC 272, the 37-year-old has participated in two UFC fights but was unable to make the most of either opportunity.
Colby Covington doesn't think Leon Edwards is motivated to fight anymore
Similar to Colby Covington, former welterweight champion Leon Edwards is currently facing challenges in building a winning momentum. In his most recent fight, Sean Brady proved to be a tough opponent for 'Rocky' and defeated him via submission.
Following the fight, 'Chaos' shared his insights. In an exclusive interview with Submission Radio, Covington emphasized that Edwards now lacks the motivation and hunger to compete in the 170-pound division:
"I kind of thought that after I fought Leon, you know, the motivation wasn't there anymore... I could tell after that fight, he just wasn't hungry anymore. He made too much money. I made him too much money at that press conference. So yeah, I just don't think he's motivated anymore, and he should hang it up."
