Jon Anik believes UFC champion Leon Edwards should take on all comers if he wants to be considered welterweight great. Edwards  (22-3 MMA, 14-2 UFC) expressed his desire of surpassing Georges St-Pierre’s nine title defenses, and UFC play-by-play commentator Anik thinks he has the potential to do it. Edwards notched his second title defense when he defeated Colby Covington by unanimous decision earlier this month at UFC 296 . Going off of rankings and resume, Belal Muhammad (23-3 MMA, 14-3 UFC) appears to be a clear-cut contender, but Edwards was dismissive of his former foe – even though their first fight ended in a no contest. If Edwards wants to eclipse St-Pierre, Anik says he should run things back with Muhammad. “I’m not necessarily surprised,” Anik said in an interview with Bodog Canada
