Leon Edwards is lookin’ for a fight. The top ranked UFC welterweight hasn’t set foot in the cage since July of last year, when he bested Rafael dos Anjos on his way to a five round unanimous decision victory. The months since have seen bouts scrapped due to the coronavirus pandemic, and some acrimonious contract negotiations that briefly got ‘Rocky’ stripped of his spot in the UFC’s top 10.
Come November, however, it seemed as though Edwards was all set to return to action against fast-rising wunderkind Khamzat Chimaev. Sadly, positive COVID-19 tests for both men have seen that fight fall by the wayside twice now.
