Notably, the welterweight champion joined the middleweight champion Israel Adesanya on Friday night at Zouk Group Club. The duo was invited to a party whose major attractions included performances by comedian Kevin Hart and Cole World. Swipe to see how the famed comedian and the singer captivated the UFC champions as well as the crowd.

The Zouk Group’s Instagram handle posted some of these photos and it appears the UFC duo had a blast that night. However, soon the 29-year-old champion will push aside these festivities and gear up for his next challenge.

Who is Edwards fighting next?

The British fighter will face the former title contender Colby Covington next. Initially, the champion expressed his discontent and lashed out at the promotion for picking a fighter who spent the better part of the last year without any action in the cage.

The welterweight champion hasn’t mellowed his stance and has yet to accept the ‘Chaos’ as next in line. He still casts doubts about whether the American fighter is the deserving candidate for having a crack at his title.

He recently told ESPN, “He [Colby Covington] hasn’t fought for over 2 years. He’s coming off 1 win against [Jorge] Masvidal. So I don’t think he’s the deserving guy for the belt”.

Regardless of Edwards’ skepticism about Covington’s status, Covington’s ability to move the needle is well known. The promotion is working to push the fight and any card featuring Covington is almost sure to do well on the PPV numbers.
