News Leon Edwards in talks to fight Usman

[Sila]

Edwards accepted immediately.

It seems the UFC are calling Journeyman Jorge's bluff and moving on.

 

[Rorschachxx]

Wasn't it Gilbert 5 minutes ago?

 

[Demon Night]

I’d love that fight

 

[BangBang]

Deserved. Go get that belt Edwards.

 

[You Will Vote For Dreyga]

Uncle Dana did the right thing and didn’t jump Leon. Who woulda guessed??

 

[blaseblah]

Should be Burns. Leon is still ranked below Woodley.

 

[welcometohavoc]

Edwards is in a T-Ferg situation where he is on a huge win streak but really only has 1 or 2 great wins

 

[r-harper-1]

Leon is more Deserving than Gilbert imo ....I’d like Gilbert to win one more

 

[r-harper-1]

Should be Burns. Leon is still ranked below Woodley.

Leon has a much better overall ww resume imo

 

[The Witcher]

Unpopular opinion - Edwards hasn’t beaten any contender and hasn’t had many impressive victories, undeserved title shot

 

[SaigeVanZant]

Rather see Leon than Dilbert

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

I feel like everyone is in talks with usman. Conor, Jorge, now Edwards.

 

[Sweater of AV]

Dana playing games to make guys fight for less.

Lol no. Burns three best wins are Woodley, Maia and Gunnar. Leon's three best wins are RDA, Gunnar, and Cowboy.

 

[BangBang]

Should be Burns. Leon is still ranked below Woodley.

Which would be more plausible if rankings meant anything at all.

This is the best move for the division. Burns will be ok waiting knowing that he’s next in line and if not then at least 1 more win away. They give Edwards a shot so he’ll shut up but they’ll also rub it in Masvidals face if he happens to win.

This also puts pressure on Masvidal who can either take a cut and face the winner. And lastly, this gets Usman off of the couch who had done a pretty poor job of concealing the fact that Jorge is his desired dance partner for the pay day. Usman can’t turn anyone down at this point or Jorge and the UFC can blame him for the hold up.

I hardly say this but....bravo to the UFC on this one.

 

[neandertal]

Sure I have no issue with it. Usman needs to fight.

Edwards accepted immediately.

Usman v Edwards is going to blow the roof off in terms of ppv numbers

Surprising. Let's see if it happens!

At some point people will begin to understand the problem is Usman.
