Furthermore, he added, “You know those last couple rounds he definitely he comes out hard and he’ll throw 50 60 kicks 50 60 punches but then you know his volume changes as the fight goes on. So I will wear him out Michael and you know I will break him. I will break his will”.

Colby Covington claimed that Leon Edwards lost a perfect opportunity
