Leon Edwards seeks title rematch with Belal Muhammad

newsweek.com

Leon Edwards is preparing for a fight against Sean Brady at UFC London, aiming to secure a title rematch with Belal Muhammad, who defeated him last year. Edwards views this fight as a chance to prove he is the better fighter. Originally scheduled to face Jack Della Maddalena, Edwards now faces Brady due to an injury to Shavkat Rakhmonov. Edwards believes he can adapt to Brady's fighting style, having faced similar opponents in the past. The fight is a title eliminator, meaning a win could lead to a championship bout against Muhammad. Edwards hopes both he and Muhammad win their upcoming fights to set up a rematch later this year.
