Leon Edwards eyes up road back to UFC welterweight title shot

Former UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards has laid out his ideal path back to a world title opportunity.

While Leon Edwards will forever be remembered for that historic head kick knockout win over Kamaru Usman, his last few fights have seen his stock fall pretty dramatically in the welterweight division. After losing a fairly one-sided title fight against Belal Muhammad, ‘Rocky’ was then beaten pretty comprehensively by Sean Brady.

Now, Leon Edwards is set to face off against Carlos Prates at UFC 322 as he aims to return to his striking roots.
