Sterling called Edwards a true professional

Aljamain Sterling, former UFC bantamweight champion, shared his opinion about the organization's current welterweight champion Leone Edwards.

“I don’t know if people can understand how great Leon Edwards’ success story is unless they look at what his family looked like as a child. I'm lucky that I wasn't born in the same situation, but my family history is similar. Most people in countries like this have a hard time. All the ups and downs, Covid and the various obstacles he has gone through, in my opinion, make it even more special what he has achieved. In any case, Edwards is a true professional to me.”
