Leon Edwards expressed interest in stepping in to fight Belal Muhammad but chose not to disrupt the UFC London card. He is focused on his upcoming fight against Sean Brady, believing he will earn a title shot with a victory. Edwards shared his thoughts on the changes in the fight lineup, including Jack Della Maddalena replacing Shavkat Rakhmonov, and feels optimistic about the matchups. His confidence stems from his experience and familiarity with the fighters in his division.
I was trying to step in to fight Belal. But I knew that they had sold London around me so it was difficult to take me off the card and leave Jack on the card.
Rocky even likes Maddalena replacing Rakhmonov, as he feels the Australian is the perfect matchup for him if he wins the title against Muhammad.
If he goes out there and gets a win, I feel that's the perfect fight for me.
Edwards claims he has been assured of a title shot with a potential win against Brady.
