    Is Leon Edwards by decision a solid value pick in tonight’s UFC 296 Main Event?

    Edwards, the UFC welterweight champion, is +160 to win by decision over contender Colby Covington. Edwards has won 5 of his last 6 bouts by decision. He is -160 favorite to win by any method.

    Covington is 2-2 in his last 4 trips into the octagon, while 7 of his last 9 MMA fights have gone to the score cards. Oddsmakers list Covington at +140 to win and have set the Total and Over/Under 4.5 rounds.

    I ended up in a rabbit hole and watched bunch of breakdowns and gambling stuff and almost exclusively all gamblers picking Covington and technical analysts picking Edwards. I personally wouldn't be surprised to see Colby winning 48-47 possibly with controversy with scorecards. But I simply don't see Colby ragdoll him for 20+ minutes on mat like some gamblers believe. He looked semi-washed against even more washed Jorge Masvidal . Interesting take by Teddy Atlas https://www.mmanews.com/news/teddy-a...ington-ufc-296 Any thoughts?

    Leon's striking is great, solid fundamentals, Leon is very good at disguising his power shots he lands high kicks in bunch of his fights against Cowboy, Luque, Belal not all are clean some glancing or blocked, obliviously he send Usman to shadow realm. Colby's striking is so sloppy even Barbarena tagged him bunch of times. He's also close to 36 not great for his aggressive style. Leon by late TKO, I will eat me words if am wrong.

    Yeah, I can see a late TKO but I'm predicting this will go this distance w/ Edwards UD.

    Nice line! This should hit as Emmett most likely will lose but he doesn’t give up at all.

    Smart move as he may have snapped and punched you in the face. He's a little nuts.
