Leon Edwards responded to rumors that he may be going into UFC London with a staph infection.
On Saturday, the former welterweight champion returns to the Octagon for the first time since surrendering his 170-pound crown to Belal Muhammad last year. Meeting ‘Rocky’ in the evening’s main event at the iconic O2 Arena will be No. 5 ranked contender Sean Brady.
Ahead of his highly anticipated return, photos of the UK fan favorite training at his gym sparked concern when it appeared that Edwards had a rather nasty-looking staph infection just below his right elbow.
