This is not normal matchmaking. Dana White and the fight makers should be fined for booking this fight.
Leon Edwards has beaten the likes of RDA, Nelson and Cerrone. He even gave a good account of himself in his fight against Usman. In fact, he has dominated most of his fights. I don't recall him having a close fight other than the Usman one.
I think Chimaev is a good prospect, don't get me wrong. But his best win is still Gerald. Other than Gerald, he has beaten John Phillips, who everyone takes down, and a lightweight who took the fight on very short notice (lightweight vs. middleweight). It's easy to look good against those type of fighters, Leon did as well in his early UFC fights when he fought those type of fighters. Let me remind you of his 8 second knockout in his 2nd UFC fight (same caliber opponent as Chimaev's).
Let's also take a quick moment to admire this young man's inside fighting. A big factor in this fight:
Off to the title shot we go after this one. Don't say you were a fan after he dominates Chimaev!
