Watch Leon Edwards vs. Rafael dos Anjos full fight video for a look back at Edwards’ most recent fight when he took on former lightweight champion dos Anjos at UFC San Antonio on July 19, 2019.
The streaking Edwards made it eight straight victories with a convincing unanimous decision win over dos Anjos, seemingly placing him in prime position to challenge for the UFC welterweight title. However, travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, a bout with the virus himself, and difficulties finding matchups has kept Edwards on the shelf for 19 months.
He returns this Saturday when he fights short-notice replacement Belal Muhammad in the UFC Vegas 21 main event.
