According to Leon Edwards, Tyron Woodley is the only reason that their clash has not already been confirmed as the headline bout for UFC London on March 21.
Edwards is keen to face an opponent that will catapult him into a title shot and feels as though a win over former champion Woodley would make him undeniable in terms of the UFC’s welterweight title stakes.
Speaking on the latest episode of Eurobash, Edwards insisted that the UFC is keen to make the fight happen.
“The UFC wants it, I want it…we’re just waiting for [Tyron] Woodley now really,” Edwards told MMA Fighting’s Eurobash podcast.
