After seeing Leon Edwards come up short against Belal Muhammad, coach Dave Lovell would like to see his fighter bounce back against rising Irish contender Ian Machado Garry.
Edwards’ uninspiring performance against ‘Remember The Name’ at UFC 304 cost him the win and the welterweight world title. Considering how decisively things played out, ‘Rocky’ and his team recognize that an immediate rematch is a pretty tall ask.
Instead, Edwards’ longtime coach believes the ex-champ can get right back into the mix with a win over the division’s No. 7 ranked contender.
