“Rocky” Leon Edwards enters the contest seeking to snap a troubling two-fight losing streak. The 33-year-old Birmingham native suffered back-to-back defeats, first losing his welterweight title to Belal Muhammad at UFC 304 in July, then suffering his first career submission loss against Sean Brady at UFC London in March.
