Leon Edwards was never a fan of Donald Cerrone’s ‘journeyman’ approach to MMA, feels there’s a ‘blueprint’ to beat him

Donald Cerrone’s freewheeling style has long made “Cowboy” a fan favorite of the MMA world.

That reverence can often be seen from his opponents as well. One needs to look no further than Cerrone’s recent win over Yancy Medeiros to find a foe who espoused a love of Cerrone’s old-school ways. But the same cannot be said of Cerrone’s opponent this Saturday at UFC Singapore, welterweight up-and-comer Leon Edwards, because unlike some of his peers, “Rocky” was never much of a fan of the devil-may-care approach Cerrone applied toward the fight game.
