Leon Edwards doesn’t see training with Khabib Nurmagomedov being an advantage for Belal Muhammad
Leon Edwards has been in phenomenal shape for his upcoming UFC 304 fight against Belal Muhammad. Edwards is also doing his due diligence and has been training with Khabib Nurmagomedov for the title fight.
‘Rocky’, though, is confident in his ability and isn’t bothered about Muhammad’s preparation. He told Red Corner MMA, “If that is what he is banking on having the man in his corner, that makes no difference to me you know. When it comes fight night, his skills are his skills and the way he fights for last how many years is how he fights. Let’s see, I don’t give two shits who is in his corner or who is training with.”
Edwards has been tipped to fight Islam Makhachev in a potential future super fight. When asked whether ‘The Eagle’, Makhachev’s teammate, could look to gather information about him through Muhammad, Edwards agreed that it was possible.
Leon Edwards won the welterweight title back at UFC 278 with a thunderous head kick KO win against Kamaru Usman. He has since defended the title against Usman and Colby Covington.
The Brit will now face Belal Muhammad in Manchester. The duo previously faced in 2021 with the fight ending in a no-contest due to an accidental eye-poke.
