Edwards: "I can be Leon Magomedov"

Alexandr Ormanji Dec. 19, 2023, 11:21 a.m.

Leon Edwards, UFC welterweight champion, spoke about his wrestling abilities.

“I started out as a mixed martial artist. I didn’t start out as a kickboxer or anything like that, but for some reason they made me a drummer. I was able to beat Kamaru Usman, something that had never happened to him before in his career, and now Colby Covington, two of the best wrestlers in the division. I showed myself in grappling and beat them. I think it shows my growth as an athlete and mixed martial artist. I can shave my mustache and grow a beard. I’ll be Leon Magomedov.”
