Social media reacts to Colby Covington’s ‘pitiful performance’ in loss to Leon Edwards at UFC 296

Leon Edwards continued to establish his title reign in the welterweight division when he turned back challenger Colby Covington in the UFC 296 main event.

Edwards (21-3 MMA, 13-2 UFC) registered his second defense of the 170-pound bouts on Saturday, this time with a lopsided unanimous decision victory over outspoken contender Covington (17-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC) in the headlining act at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Check below for the top X (formerly Twitter) reactions to Edwards’ title defense over Covington at UFC 296.
