Vicente Luque calls out Leon Edwards for title eliminator bout: ‘It would erase all doubt’

UFC welterweight contender Vicente Luque wants the division to have a clear title contender for Kamaru Usman’s next defense. The unofficial replacement fighter for UFC 268’s main event, where the ‘Nigerian Nightmare’ defended his belt for the fifth time, the Brazilian calls out Leon Edwards to meet him in the Octagon in a title eliminator rematch.

Although Luque has already dropped a unanimous decision to Edwards back in March 2017, the ‘Silent Assassin’ believes enough time has passed to warrant a do-over. Furthermore, Vicente thinks that the winner of this fight would end the discussion of who should be the next welterweight title challenger.
