Leon Edwards on the changing of the guard at 170: ‘The older guys are fading out now’

Leon Edwards wants to establish himself on the growing list of fresh-faced contenders in the UFC’s welterweight division, and he’s confident a win over Donald Cerrone at UFC Singapore will help him achieve his goal.

Ever since his loss to Kamaru Usman in late 2015, the Jamaican-born Brummie has diligently gone about his business to clock up a five-fight win streak. He’s most at home fighting in the Octagon, but he showed a new string to his bow when he called out Darren Till following his latest win over Peter Sobotta at UFC London.
