BAD MMA News — Wed, 30 Apr 2025 06:59:34 +0000

Belal Muhammad went to hostile territory when he faced Leon Edwards for the welterweight title at UFC 304 in Manchester, England last July. Birmingham’s Edward held the 170-pound title and defended it twice before taking on Muhammad. The two previously fought in March 2021 but the fight was ruled a no contest after Muhammad was rendered unable to continue after an accidental eye poke. Check out the rematch. Muhammad puts his title on the line for the first time in the UFC 315 main event against No. 5 ranked Jack Della Maddalena on May 10.

Ian Machado Garry: ‘Leon Edwards is not a fighter at heart’

BAD MMA News — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 14:13:42 +0000

Leon Edwards lost the welterweight title at UFC 304 last July, coming up short to Belal Muhammad by unanimous decision. He returned in March against Sean Brady and was defeated by guillotine choke in the fourth round. Welterweight contender Ian Machado Garry wasn’t surprised that Edwards lost to Brady in the UFC London main event. He believes when “Rocky” experiences adversity in a fight he ‘quits’ because ‘he’s not a fighter at heart.’ “We’ve seen in the Kamaru [Usman] fight, we’ve seen in the Belal fight, and we seen in the Sean Brady fight, when the going gets tough Leon doesn’t like to be there,” Machado Garry said on the Ariel Helwani Show . “I believe that Belal Muhammad put out the blueprint for everyone to go out and beat Leon Edwards. Put him on the back foot, take him down, smash him, control him and he’ll quit. He doesn’t want to be there.

Jorge Masvidal calls for grudge match with ‘fragile’ Leon Edwards after UFC Fight Night 255 loss

BAD MMA News — Fri, 28 Mar 2025 17:27:01 +0000

A fight between Jorge Masvidal and Leon Edwards has arguably never made more sense than now. Edwards (22-5 MMA, 14-4 UFC) suffered a second consecutive loss when he was dominated and submitted by Sean Brady this past Saturday at UFC Fight Night 255 at The O2 in London. With Masvidal (35-17 MMA, 12-10 UFC) eyeing a UFC return after retiring from MMA in April 2023, a long-awaited matchup with Edwards is on the forefront of his mind. He thinks beating the former UFC welterweight champion would catapult him into a final late-career title run. “If the UFC wants to make this happen, give me the Leon fight, and then after that, I’ll fight whoever has that damn belt,” Masvidal told Submission Radio .
