The Integrity of the UFC Championship is Diminishing

This past weekend at the UFC 298 post-fight press conference, UFC boss, Dana White revealed that welterweight champion, Leon Edwards had received three fight offers to headline UFC 300 and accepted every single one of them. Unfortunately for the Brit and fans of his, none of these fights came to fruition, however, White didn’t reveal at the time who the opponents were.

Ariel Helwani confirmed that the three names offered to Edwards were Khamzat Chimaev, Shavkat Rakhmonov and lightweight champion, Islam Makhachev.

The 3 fighters Dana White offered Leon to headline #UFC300:

Khamzat
Shavkat
Islam

Leon said yes to all of them.
