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.
“It took a lot for me to calm down. I spoke to my mum and my team and shut it all down.
“After the press conference, I was crying back stage because of the rage. You can’t use my dad’s death.”
