Losing streaks are never easy. Especially for elite level fighters. For the first time in his professional MMA career, Leon Edwards finds himself in unfamiliar territory: back-to-back losses.
The former UFC welterweight champion lost his title in a hard-fought battle against Belal Muhammad at UFC 304, marking the end of his reign atop the division. Things went from bad to worse in March at UFC Fight Night 255, where Edwards suffered a dominant submission loss to rising contender Sean Brady in the main event.
The former UFC welterweight champion, once seen as one of the most consistent and technically sound fighters in the division, is now determined to right the ship.
