As the above video clip shows, Edwards was in the middle of a jog in his neighborhood when he nailed the soccer-like trick shot. The clip has since gone viral on social media.
Edwards, after his career-changing win over Usman at UFC 278, became one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. He successfully defended the title against Usman at UFC 286 before defeating Covington in December.
Edwards will face another steep challenge in Muhammad, who hasn’t lost in five years. Their first fight in 2021 ended abruptly in a no-contest due to an accidental eye poke.
Edwards, once again, will have the opportunity to successfully defend the welterweight belt in front of the UK crowd. He’s emerged as one of the greatest UK MMA fighters of all time.
Edwards is locked in ahead of his latest title defense. In the meantime, he’s adding more jaw-dropping moments outside of the cage to his reputation inside of it.
