And Pimblett in the post-fight press conference blasted Colby Covington for his comments on Edwards’ late father.
“You don’t speak about people’s dead relatives. You know what I mean.”
He continued, “I’d never ever mentioned someone’s dead relative. If someone mentioned anything about my Nan or Grandma, I’d kick them in the face.”
“So I understand Leon throwing a bottle at him. Like I wish Leon would’ve snapped his jaw then. So that we had to get it wired shut for saying something like that.”
