Leon’s brother Fabian Edwards recently took part in an interview where he was asked about the ordeal.

Edwards responds to Covington

“I’ve said to everyone, it’s a good thing that I wasn’t there, you know what I mean?” Edwards said. “It’s a good thing that my visa never came back in time because that fight probably wouldn’t have happened, you know what I mean? ‘Cause fair play from brother controlling himself, but I wasn’t the one fighting, so I probably wouldn’t have controlled myself, you know what I mean? And, like, he’s a scumbag innit? He’s a scumbag, he’s always proved that.”

Everyone can understand why Fabian would be frustrated by Covington making remarks like this. At the same time, his ongoing feud with Ian Machado Garry suggests that he isn’t going to stop anytime soon.

Colby thrives off the hate and attention he gets, and it certainly feels like there’s a lot more coming before he retires.
