UFC 296 was headlined by a welterweight title bout between champion Leon Edwards and Colby Covington at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The fight was Edwards’ second title defense and he entered the fight having not lost in eight years. Covington hadn’t fought in nearly two years and entered the fight coming off a win over Jorge Masvidal at UFC 272. While Edwards admittedly didn’t like Covington, the fight turned into a grudge match after Covington joked about Edwards’ late father during the pre-fight press conference
