Leon Edwards is open to defending his welterweight title against Conor McGregor should his proposed trilogy match with Kamaru Usman fall through at the last minute.
With both fighters sharing the same management, ‘Rocky’ says a welterweight showdown with ‘The Notorious’ would ‘be easy to make’ given the latter is rumored to return to the UFC at 170 pounds after gaining a considerable amount of weight during his ongoing and extended hiatus.
“Conor would be one that would be easy to make. We’re managed by the same management team,” Edwards told Sky Sports about the possibility of fighting McGregor.
