With his wish for the next UFC welterweight title shot unfulfilled, Leon Edwards is turning his attention to a fight with Colby Covington . Edwards (18-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC) returned to the octagon for the first time in 20 months this past Saturday and headlined UFC Fight Night 187 vs. short-notice replacement Belal Muhammad, who filled in for Khamzat Chimaev. The bout ended in anticlimactic fashion when an accidental eye poke from Edwards led to a no contest. With a nine-fight unbeaten streak, Edwards showed little interest in a rematch and instead pushed to challenge champion Kamaru Usman.
