UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards ’ coach, Dave Lovell, expects Belal Muhammad to be next. Lovell confirmed that Edwards (21-3 MMA, 13-2 UFC) was offered Shavkat Rakhmonov, Khamzat Chimaev, and lightweight champion Islam Makhachev at UFC 300, but not Muhammad. Muhammad (23-3 MMA, 14-3 UFC) cemented himself as No. 1 contender last May when he defeated Gilbert Burns at UFC 288 , but he’s yet to get his long-awaited rematch with Edwards.
