Khamzat Chimaev has opened as the early -175 favorite over Leon Edwards after ‘Borz’ offered to step in and fight ‘Rocky’ on short notice following Jorge Masvidal’s withdrawal from UFC 269.
Unfortunately for Chimaev, though, No. 3-ranked Edwards isn’t interested (he’s just not that into you).
The +150 underdog (h/t Low Kick MMA), who was expected to take on Masvidal in a number one contender’s bout on Dec. 11 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, revealed that he will be taking some time to spend with his family and will be absent from UFC 269 now that ‘Gamebred’ has pulled out.
