Fighter vs. Writer: Should Colby Covington Actually Get the Next Title Shot Against Leon Edwards?

Following an eventful UFC 286 card over the weekend, The Fighter vs. The Writer with Matt Brown and Damon Martin discusses the biggest storylines coming out of the event including Leon Edwards successfully defending his title against Kamaru Usman in the main event.  Edwards picked up a second win over Usman after scoring a stunning comeback knockout in their rematch but now that he’s vanquished arguably the second best welterweight in history, what should be next? Well, UFC president Dana White says Colby Covington is getting the next title shot but is that coming at the expensive of Belal Muhammad? Brown argues why Edwards should actually just take the fight with Covington while also talking about the potential matchup between Muhammad and Shavkat Rakhmonov. We’ll also discuss Justin Gaethje’s latest Fight of the Night performance over Rafael Fiziev and how the UFC should move away from the current bonus structure and start offering finish bonuses to all the fighters on every card.
