Stop the presses: You will see Leon Edwards inside the octagon tonight.
Sure, as our own Jose Youngs always reminds us, nothing is official until both fighters are in the cage (and as we saw with Chas Skelly and Jamall Emmers recently, we do mean both fighters), but this is the closest Edwards has been to returning to competition since July 20, 2019. Even though it’s not one of the big names Edwards has been asking for nor is it even originally scheduled opponent Khamzat Chimaev, you have to imagine the would-be No.
