Leon Edwards rips Belal Muhammad ahead of UFC London return: ‘The belt doesn’t look good on him’

Former undisputed welterweight kingpin, Leon Edwards has scoffed at the title run of two-fight foe, Belal Muhammad ahead of his UFC London return this weekend — claiming the championship belt looks far from “good” wrapped around his waist.

Edwards, the current number one ranked welterweight challenger, has seen a reshuffle to this weekend’s near-annual outing at UFC London.

Initially slated to take on surging Aussie finisher, Jack Della Maddalena in a title eliminator fight, Edwards has now booked a clash with the surging, Sean Brady.

And seeing Della Maddalena take on soon-to-be common-foe, Muhammad in a title fight at UFC 315 in Canada, Edwards claimed he offered to fight Muhammad in a trilogy fight amid an injury setback to the unbeaten, Shavkat Rakhmonov.
