Leon Edwards was given ‘three hours’ notice to travel to USA after UFC London cancellation

UFC welterweight contender Leon Edwards has described the chaotic turn of events that occurred after his UFC London fight with Tyron Woodley was scrapped.

Edwards and Woodley were scheduled to meet in the main event of UFC London on March 21st. With the coronovirus scrapping the possibility of the card taking place in London, the UFC decided to try and move the card to the United States just one week out from the event.

Talking recently to BT Sport, Edwards explained how the UFC gave him just three hours to pack and get he and his team to the airport for the rescheduling of the card.
