White praises Edwards
“In this business it’s about taking opportunities – headlining UFC 300, with all the buzz and all the energy around it. Let me say this. Leon Edwards, Leon Edwards has had like three opponents throughout this thing. Leon Edwards doesn’t say no to anybody. This kid is an absolute stud. He’s had like three opponents thrown at him during UFC 300 [negotiations] – yes, yes, yes. [He] was willing to take on anybody, man. The kid is an absolute stud. Leon, thank you, much respect.”
One thing we know to be true about Leon Edwards is that he’s never backed down from a challenge. Hopefully, we’ll get the chance to see him compete in the Octagon sooner rather than later as his star power continues to grow in the UFC.
Who do you believe the three opponents were that he was offered? Do you still think there’s a chance that he will appear on the UFC 300 card? If not, when will he return? Let us know your thoughts, BJPENN Nation!
