Former UFC welterweight title challenger Gilbert Burns believes Leon Edwards is a very tough stylistic matchup for Kamaru Usman and that the Briton has the best chance of beating ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ out of all the top welterweights.
Burns, who suffered a TKO loss to Usman at UFC 258, claims Edward’s striking sets him apart from the rest of the division and that ‘Rocky’ could be Usman’s toughest test in the Octagon to date.
“I’m telling you right now, Leon Edwards is very underrated,” Burns told Brendan Schaub on a recent episode of Food Truck Diaries (h/t Craig Pekios of Low Kick MMA).
