UFC 322 Update: Former Welterweight Champ to Face Fighting Nerds Staple

Related Topics: Leon 'Rocky' Edwards, UFC

The Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight title picture could use a little clarification, and it is getting it in November.

The organization announced on Thursday that Leon Edwards (22-5-1) will be taking on Carlos Prates (22-7) at UFC 322. The latter called for this match after a recent victory, and the promotion has answered his call for this welterweight entanglement likely on the main card of this Madison Square Garden-based show on Nov. 13.

This will be the first attempt for “Rocky” to break out of a career-first losing streak.
