Leon Edwards Reveals He Was Looking for Colby Covington Backstage to Slap Him After UFC 296 Win

Edwards didn’t hold back his feelings. “Slap him, that’s what I was looking to do,” he said. “I feel like he’s not a man. I feel like the way he talks and the way he says, he should be able to really back it up inside and outside the cage. For me, I don’t think he’s a man, he’s a weasel.”
Despite this intense encounter, Edwards remains focused on his career. He is gearing up for his next title defense against Belal Muhammad at UFC 304. The fight is set to take place at the Co-op Live arena in Manchester, England, on July 27. As he prepares for this crucial matchup, Edwards continues to show why he is a true champion, both inside and outside the octagon.
Will Edwards' determination and skill continue to prevail in the octagon?
