News Leon Edwards become the latest fighter to mock Woodley's rapping; talks about wanting to fight soon

[Phisher]

“His rapping career is the biggest ‘L,'” Edwards told MMA Junkie. “That’s the biggest ‘L’ – his rapping. I don’t know. I think he had nothing to say. He’s talking about something that happened two years ago. Like, no way he hasn’t seen that video. He’s just using something to mention to keep his name relevant, really. It is what it is. It doesn’t bother me.”

“If Woodley wins, he probably won’t fight now until the end of the year, so I cannot wait until that long to compete,” Edwards said. “I want to compete this summer – latest, early September. But I would prefer in the summertime. So if any of them fight – it depends who wins. If it’s Burns, it’s probably a faster turnaround. Woodley will probably be a longer situation.”

So should Burns emerge victorious, Edwards would consider fighting him next, but only under one condition.

“If it’s a guaranteed No. 1 contender spot,” Edwards said. “If not then no.”

He's not saying anything 99% of the world don't already know lol, Woodley's a beast, and a Top 5 Welterweight, but the dudes Rapping is hot trash.

With that said, going by recent interviews, he seems to be getting his priorities in order and focused more on fighting, yeah he's in the Titan Games but he started that around January, so it likely didn't have any implications on his training for the Edwards/Burns fight.

It's also funny how he's saying Woodley might take a little longer than Burns despite him having 4 title fights in a year. People seem to forget that after losing to Usman, he was booked to fight Lawler shortly after, got injured, and agreed to fight Leon before Covid skull fucked the world into a coma.

Leon Edwards the second best WW of all-time after Usman.

Woodley is shockingly bad at rapping but is the guy with a lisp the right guy to call out someone on rapping

Leon is the underground fighter if the UFC.

A bit like Alvarez.

No bullshit, fights for a living and bloody good at it.

Just no nonsense, won't engage (overall) in dumb antics just to sell a fight.

Deserves his chance at the title.

Except Edwards is really that good.
I think he's top 2 or 3 MINIMUM of currently active fighters at WW.

top 2/3 minimum of active fighters =/= 2nd best WW of all time
