News BREAKING Leon Edwards Has Covid, Fight Cancelled.

[bean88]

Leon is in the UK, besides the fight is at the end of december so January is still a few weeks rebooking.

I said it before and I say it again, Leon and a few of his team mates should had pool in and rented a condo in Las Vegas for a few months and get a couple of fights done this year, being in the UK is fucking him up again, no way they let him near an airport anytime soon, the country is closed again.

this isn’t true you can come and go right now as long as you are tested

Lol keep talking Leon

 

[David N.]

Brooo that sucks. I was excited to see Kamzat hit the flo!

 

[Peli]

Lol they both have covid. Khamzat was the one who wanted to muscle through it.

 

[vivi]

They should just move Ferguson vs Oliveira to that card as the main event, that fight should be a 5 rounder anyway. Besides, UFC 256 isn’t going to do great numbers either way with the fairly weak headliner.

You can get on a transatlantic flight while being covid positive?

What a fucking joke

Abu dhabi. Only abu dhabi until this covid shit ends.

It should've been that way from day one.

 

[TerrorTimmy]

Well, it is a completely different weightclass. A LW fighting at WW against a guy that has more UFC fights at MW than WW??

Seriously, what's your issue?

Chandler doesn't seem to actually want to fight, but continues talking like he'll fight anyone and everyone is ducking him.

I don't expect him to take this fight, obviously. But I also don't expect him to take any tough fight. He doesn't want to get beaten down badly and lose all his leverage. He's angling for a "money fight" with Conor, but it's not happening and he needs to take a fight or shut the fuck up.

That's pure gold. Best post I've read in awhile....

 

[dcthegod]

fucking kidding me man. really

Only on Trump/Bolsonaro Airlines (TrumBo for short)

 

[sdpdude9]

There’s 6 other Welterweights on the card, surely the can pull somebody.

Stephen Thompson
Geoff Neal
Michel Pereira
Khaos Williams
Belal Muhammad
Dhiego Lima

Literally not even surprised covid is about to wreck all these cards. They better try to quarantine Conor and Poirier

 

[kevo1295]

Wow what a tease.
Covid

 

[Kono dio da!]

The amount of stupidity is off the fucking charts in this thread.Jesus

ain't that the fucking truth.

 

[runjay]

Miguel Baeza plz

 

[Doughie99]

My view is this fight will simply be moved to the Main card for Jan 23rd Conor Poirier card. I'm sure the UFC will be happy to put it high up on that card.

Plus it should be enough time for Edwards to get back training etc.

 

[El Fernas]

So Edwards triggered Plan B since the covid report for Chimaev allegedly turned out to be fake...cut this fool, i cant even remember his last fight, i do remember him getting sucker punchered by Masvidal, THAT was the fight to make and he didnt got it.

 

[hedidhisownstunts]

This guy has gone all year complaining about not getting opportunities and keyboard warrioring. Now he gets booked against the biggest hype talent in the sport presently and he gets himself sick with Covid. I know it's not necessarily his fault, but his willingness to squander his time and talent and miss the big moments is back on prime display here. If he comes back, no more bullshit, he better come hungry and be looking to fight anybody and everybody or they should just cut him loose.
