Leon Edwards retained his welterweight title with a cagey win over Colby Covington at UFC 296 in Las Vegas.

In a fight with few significant moments, Edwards out-struck the American and nullified many of the grappling exchanges.

An emotional Edwards then criticised Covington, who had made a crass comment about the Briton’s late father in the fight build-up.

“This guy used my dad’s murder as entertainment,” said Edwards.

“After the press conference, I was crying back stage because of the rage. You can’t use my dad’s death.”
