Leading up to UFC 304, all eyes are on the unexpected twist of having Khabib Nurmagomedov in Belal Muhammad’s corner. However, Leon Edwards, renowned for his unflinching resolve, remains unfazed by the development.
“It’s irrelevant to me,” Edwards bluntly stated when questioned about Nurmagomedov’s involvement. “This fight is between me and Belal. What happens outside the Octagon doesn’t concern me.”
For Edwards, the upcoming fight represents more than just another bout. It’s a crucial step towards his championship aspirations and solidifying his position among the welterweight elite. With an impressive record and a disciplined training regimen, Edwards is focused solely on his performance.
“I’ve trained hard to be ready for whatever Belal brings,” Edwards affirmed. “My focus is on showcasing my skills and taking another step towards the title.”
Known for his no-nonsense approach inside and outside the cage, Edwards maintains a calm demeanor amidst the added attention surrounding his opponent’s corner. His confidence stems from years of experience and a belief in his abilities to overcome any challenge.
“As long as I step into that Octagon prepared and focused, nothing else matters,” Edwards emphasized. “I’m here to win.”
As the anticipation builds for UFC 304, Leon Edwards remains steadfast in his commitment to victory, brushing off distractions and focusing solely on the task at hand. His unwavering determination sets the stage for what promises to be an electrifying matchup in the welterweight division.
‘Rocky’ is a bit confused about his potential clash with Islam Makhachev After defeating Dustin Poirier at UFC 302, Makhachev stated his desire to become a double-weight champion, with Leon Edwards as his next opponent for the welterweight belt. Makhachev expressed this ambition to UFC Supremo Dana White. Becoming a double champ is one of Makhachev’s biggest dreams. But what about Edwards? Is he looking for a fight?
Well, at the start of June, Edwards stated that both of them have to conquer their division before jumping into new ones, “I welcome it but I think we’ve both got work to do within our (own) divisions. Unless we both go on this reign, then why not?.” However, the scene appeared to have changed for now as ‘Rocky’s recent comments hint towards a clash, “I can see that happening in the future.”
Their clash would sell like hotcakes for the promotion. Nonetheless, what’s your take on the entire fiasco? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
