After months of radio silence from the Leon Edwards camp, it now looks like the former champion is ready to reclaim his title. ‘Rocky’ was riding an incredible 13-fight unbeaten streak before falling short at UFC 304. The Brit made two successful defenses of the welterweight strap, beating division mainstays Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington . Four months after losing his crown, Leon Edwards is preparing a return. While the 170 lbs division is one of the toughest in the sport, Edwards has set the goal of becoming champion by this time next year.
