While everyone is wishing Khamzat Chimaev the best as he recovers from what appears to be a particularly difficult bout with COVID-19, it may be a blessing in disguise for him that he is effectively dodging Leon Edwards. While Chimaev is certainly an impressive prospect, he is still a prospect and Edwards represents a HUGE step up from the likes of Gerald Meerschaert. So while the fan interest in UFC Vegas 21 took a hit when Chimaev pulled out, most would agree Belal Muhammad presents a stronger opponent for Edwards. As for the rest of the main card, there are some contests that appear to be a viewer’s delight, but nothing that would be labeled as can’t miss.
