UFC 296 live tracker: Leon Edwards vs. Colby Covington, Pantoja-Royval updates, highlights, analysisEdwards shocked the world when he won the title via a late head-kick knockout of Usman in August 2022. Usman had defeated Edwards in 2015 when they were both welterweight contenders. But Edwards made sure his title win over Usman was no fluke when they met in a rubber match earlier this year at UFC 286, as Edwards won via unanimous decision.
Edwards is currently a -150 favorite at BetMGM, with Covington at +125. Edwards by decision is +150, while Covington by decision is +225.
In the co-main event, champion Alexandre Pantoja and Brandon Royval will battle for the flyweight championship. The bout is a rematch of their August 2021 matchup, which Pantoja won via submission with a rear-naked choke in the second round.
Also on the main card is a welterweight bout between undefeated Shavkat Rakhmonov and veteran Stephen Thompson, as well as a lightweight tilt featuring former interim champion Tony Ferguson and rising contender Paddy Pimblett. Featherweights Josh Emmett and Bryce Mitchell open the pay-per-view card in a short-notice fight after Emmett's original opponent, Giga Chikadze, injured his groin in training and was forced to withdraw.

How to watch UFC 296 without cableUFC commentator and lead play-by-play voice Jon Anik posted on ‘X’, formerly known as Twitter, that Edwards was “absolutely seething” 24 hours after the comments.
“Not (at all) suggesting he can’t channel that energy in the right way. Could help him lock in early, but clearly he has been affected by Covington’s comments. Bear = poked,” Anik wrote.
