If it’s Leon Edwards why isn’t it booked yet?

If it’s the winner of Khamzat vs. Burns, rightfully so, then why not Leon vs. Luque 2 for the next shot.

What’s going on with WW lately? It’s like the division is Asleep.
 
Khamzat/Burns.
Masvidal/Covington.
Luque/Muhammad.

Five of the top ten are fighting soon. Thomson and Chiesa just lost. Brady just won. It's pretty active.

Not to mention Usman defended the title two months ago and defended the title 3 times the whole year and that is lot for ufc champ. Id imagine they are looking may/june for Usman/Edwards.

Dana said Edwards was next. The division has been active. Usman fights as often any champion has in years. I'm not sure what TS is getting at.

Leon doesn't want to book anything not a title fight.
 
There's no point to officially announce it already because it probably isn't happening until June, no rush.
 
I hope that Edwards has his chance to capture the UFC Welterweight World Championship. It's been a long time coming.
 
They're probably figuring out a good date for Usman/Edwards so it can headline a PPV, and the slots are going fast.

-February is Adesanya/Whittaker 2
-March is Covington/Masvidal
-April is Volk/KZ and Sterling/Yan 2
-May is Oliveira/Gaethje and Glover/Jiri

My guess is they're trying to figure out a way to get Conor back for the July International Fight Week PPV. I'd place my bet on Usman/Edwards in June, and given how far out that is from now, it's not surprising that the fight isn't confirmed on paper.
 
Edwards is next, UFC are only now laying out the year. I'm sure there will be an announcement soon.
