Media Edwards doesn't want to fight in July

2 back to back camps preparing for a wrestler, shit ain't easy on the body, specially if you haven't wrestled all your life.

I hope Colby waits until October and then fucks him up. Waiting 7 months when you are healthy is not fair to the division.

He will wait. He's the expert at sitting out and waiting for unearned opportunities.

This is already the 2nd time he's sat out for a year plus to fight for the title on a mighty 1 fight win streak.
 
Well I kinda get him because he waited so long for a title shot since Jorge and Colby both got theirs before him + a rematch.
And lol now he gotta face Colby because a significant portion of the UFC's fanbase are bigots.

Now I feel that Edwards should be confident against Colby. Like almost gladly accepting the fight. Probably is a money and needing some rest time problem.
I find hard to believe that he'd refuse the Colby fight because he REEEAALLLY wants to settle that Belal Muhammad eyepoke NC.
 
He thinks he can choose who has earned the right to fight him. The UFC does not work like this and Leon may find out the hard way. I would not be surprised to see him stripped of his title for his entitled behavior (not fighting Covington or not fighting in July/August)
 
Ducking Colby. Yeah, Leon, 3 wins in 4 years is too much, better take another 2 years off and hope bad matchups just go away.
 
All these guys do the same stuff. You just pick and choose when to complain based on if you're a fan or not. HAving the belt means more leverage and control. That's one of the reasons fighters work their whole lives to get there. Of course they're going to be more selective once they get the belt. Pretty much everyone does it.

Literally all of them.

The only times a champion defended 3 times in a calendar year that I can recall is Kamaru Usman in 2021 and Max Holloway in 2019. Those are anomalies though, not the norm at all. I'm sure Izzy has done it now that I think on it as well.

Most champs defend once a year or at a push twice. Most non champions don't even fight 3 fights a year, and schedules usually slow down once they grab the belt.

Also nobody is obligated to fight 3 times a year in the UFC. It's quite the opposite. The UFC is legally obligated to OFFER 3 fights a year minimum to every fighter on the roster. The vast majority of fighters do not take 3 though.

Yeah one to two defenses has been the norm for champs forever. People have this idea in their head that champs should defend 3x a year but when was the last time that was common?
 
Give him some time to fix his hairline. You guys are so demanding.

Seriously though he just did two camps against Usman. He needs some time off.

When a champ is healthy and there is a willing opponent , there is rarely a situation where the champ refused to fight.
