Leon Edwards, former UFC Welterweight Champion is plotting his way back to his title. His desire to exact revenge on his most recent loss has fueled his journey. Edwards, who is well-known for his strategic style and resilience, wants to take back his place at the top.
Edwards was defeated by Belal Muhammad in the UFC 304 event held last October at Manchester. The Birmingham native has now focused solely on getting a rematch against “Remember The Name” in order to reverse the outcome of a future fight.
One hundred percent. Edwards stated in his statement that he “needs to” (get a rematch). “Road to London” vlog. “It is there for me to avenge, as I believe that I am a better fighter.”
Edwards’ UFC 304 defeat marked the end to a nine year unbeaten streak. Belal Muhammad won the fight with a score of 48-47. 48-47. 49-46. Edwards’ performance was below par.
Edwards’ skills were on display in impressive wins before the defeat against Muhammad. These included a head-kick knockout against Kamaru Usman, which won him the UFC title, and an outstanding performance against Colby Covington. Edwards climbed up the UFC rankings for pound-forpound after this.
But he deserved it. “But I will get it back. That’s my position.”
Leon Edwards had an impressive unbeaten streak that spanned back from December 2015. It included 12 victories and one no-contest. Edwards credits the loss he suffered to Kamaru Uman for being a crucial learning experience which fueled his later success. Edwards will use his defeat of Muhammad as a learning experience to begin a dominant new phase in his professional career.
“My first loss, nine years ago to Usman was a lesson that changed my life. This is no different. It’s not different. I think I’ll do my best to win.
On March 22, “Rocky Edwards” will headline UFC London, facing Australian Jack Della Maddalena. The anticipated matchup could prove pivotal in the welterweight category.
A victory by either fighter can have a significant impact on the overall title race. Jack Della Maddalena enters the fight with an impressive 17-fight victory streak. Edwards knows that a win will be crucial to his chances of gaining a shot at the title and, eventually, facing Belal Muhammad again.
Edwards said: “Right away, Jack is number one, and he has the fight.”
The guy who is blocking the path of all other things. The belts (which are out of reach) will not be available if I do not beat him. Then I have to overcome him.
Both fighters will look back on the fight between Leon Edwards and Jack Della Maddalena at UFC London as a major moment in their careers. Edwards wants to establish himself again as the top contender for the welterweight title after losing it, and Della Maddalena is looking to continue his winning streak with his biggest victory of his career.
