Welterweight champion Leon Edwards shows interest to fight at UFC 294

During an interview with ESPN MMA, 'Rocky' spoke about when and where he would prefer to take his next title challenger, Colby Covington:
"For me, [I would prefer to fight Covington in] Abu Dhabi [at UFC 294] because it's closer to home, but also New York [at UFC 295], Madison Square Garden is a legendary Arena right. So it'd be good to do it there as well."
