Former UFC welterweight champ Leon Edwards relatively wishes to return in March.
‘Rocky’ hasn’t been seen in the octagon given that a go back to Manchester in July. There, Leon Edwards dealt with Belal Muhammad in a rematch of their March 2021 conference at the UFC Apex. Heading into the contest, the British fighter was a heavy-betting favorite. Muhammad turned the script on him previously this summer season.
After 5 hard-fought rounds, it was ‘Remember The Name’ who made a consentaneous choice success. With the win, Muhammad snapped Leon Edwards’ outstanding 13-fight unbeaten streak. Post-fight, the British fighter’s coach exposed a couple of injuries, which the previous welterweight champ would likely take a while off.
It appears that the previous UFC welterweight champ is preparing for a return. Earlier today, the promo revealed strategies to head back to London on March 22nd. In reaction, Leon Edwards shared the post and included an eyeball emoji. Certainly absolutely nothing remains in the works yet, however ‘Rocky’ would be a rational suitable for the occasion.

Former UFC welterweight champ Leon Edwards teases March go back to the octagon
That being stated, there’s numerous other names who have actually used to battle at UFC London. While Leon Edwards is perhaps the greatest, Renato Moicano contacted us to heading the occasion on social networks. The Brazilian is fresh off a second-round knockout triumph over Benoit Saint-Denis in September over in France.
Requiring to X previously today, Moicano required the possibility to deal with Paddy Pimblett at UFC London. ‘The Baddy’ last completed in July, scoring a first-round submission win over Bobby ‘King’ Green. Following the triumph, Pimblett required the chance to deal with the Brazilian in an enormous light-weight accident.
This news will likely take Leon Edwards out of the running to deal with Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 310. While ‘Rocky’ never ever used to deal with ‘Nomad’, Michael Bisping pitched the Brit as a replacement previously this month. Currently, Rakhmonov is anticipated to fulfill Kamaru Usman next month rather.
What do you make from these remarks from the previous UFC welterweight champ? Who do you wish to see Leon Edwards combat next?
