"UFC 296: Leon Edwards Dominates Covington, Pantoja Retains Title - Full Results and Winner Interviews"

Leon Edwards retains the welterweight title with a dominant win over Colby Covington at UFC 296. Edwards may consider moving up in weight, but a fight against Belal Muhammad, who has won nine in a row, seems likely. Alexandre Pantoja, the flyweight champion, could face the winner of Brandon Moreno vs. Amir Albazi for his next title defense. Shavkat Rakhmonov's next opponent is uncertain, as Kamaru Usman has no interest in fighting him unless it's for a title. Paddy Pimblett, lightweight fighter, could face Benoit Saint Denis for a tough matchup. Josh Emmett's impressive knockout win sets up a potential fight against Giga Chikadze. Cody Garbrandt's next opponent could be Dominick Cruz, with Adrian Yanez as a wild card option.
