Media Leon Edwards wishes Khazmat well and still wants to fight someone on January 20th

As he should. It’s certainly not for him to wait around for a guy with a phoney ranking. All risk and no real reward. He’s been inactive for a while. Covid screwed up his fight with Woodley, and also a late replacement TS.

I hope the UFC gives him a fight. And if they do, he better damn well accept it. No matter who it is.
 
Some folks are celebrating a covid19 positive test as a win and celebrating the fact that this Fight never happened which means they had no confidence in Leon to begin with.. <{Heymansnicker}>
 

And this is what Khamzat should've done when Leon couldn't make it a couple of weeks ago. He had his shot against Magny or Holland and couldn't be found. This is Covid times, step up and fight if you've had camp or are in shape. Otherwise, be quiet and stop talking about fighting anybody, anytime, anywhere. Khamzat fights anywhere, anytime but only against unranked guys.
 
Like everyone else I was really looking forward to this fight, but for now its time to move on. Leon needs to fight ASAP and Khamzat wont die taking it a little slower than projected at first. When the stars allign this fight can be rebooked in the future but there is not much movement in the WW division top right now. Waiting around for Burns - Usman, Jorge - Colby, and now Khamzat - Edwards is too much.
