Leon Edwards has rejected Dana White's plan for him to face Colby Covington in his next title defence. 

'Rocky' won a majority decision against Kamaru Usman in a thrilling five-round clash at UFC 286 at a packed out O2 Arena. 

Covington was the back-up and made weight on Friday. White said after Edwards' win that 'Chaos' would be next, words that were then put to the champion.
