Big news came in earlier this week when it was announced that undefeated lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov would take on interim champ Dustin Poirier in a title unification bout at UFC 242 in Abu Dhabi.
No other match-ups have been announced, but streaking UFC welterweight contender Leon Edwards would like to fight former lightweight titleholder Rafael dos Anjos in the co-main event.
Edwards, who called out RDA in a separate post last month, suggested the bout in response to the UFC’s official announcement of Khabib vs. Poirier.
Edwards, 27, is on a seven-fight win streak and holds notable wins over Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone and Gunnar Nelson.
