Leon Edwards is backing himself highly ahead of his fight against Rafael Dos Anjos this weekend, as he feels ‘RDA’ breaks against ‘younger’ and ‘hungrier’ fighters.
Edwards (17-3) is currently on a seven-fight winning streak in the UFC. His last two fights have been impressive decision wins over Gunnar Nelson and Donald Cerrone, and the 27-year-old will hope to stake his claim for a title shot this weekend with a win over ‘RDA.’
Talking to MMA Fighting, Edwards explained why he thinks Dos Anjos was ‘forced’ into accepting the fight, and that will ultimately come back to bite him.
