Former undisputed welterweight champion, Leon Edwards has revealed he offered to step-in and take on former-foe, Belal Muhammad in an immediate title rematch at UFC 315 in May, ultimately to no avail, with the promotion reluctant to remove him from UFC London this month.
Edwards, the current number one ranked welterweight contender, has been sidelined last July where he headlined UFC 304 in a title rematch with Muhammad in Manchester.
And dropping a one-sided unanimous decision loss against Illinois native, Muhammad in their title rematch in the UK, Edwards has been booked to return at UFC London later this month.
