Dana White pays respect to Edwards

Dana White, UFC CEO, spoke with respect for the organization's welterweight champion Leon Edwards, who was offered three different opponents at UFC 300 and agreed to fight them.

“We talked to a lot of people, tried to organize different options. In our sport, a lot is built around opportunity. When they offer you a fight at UFC 300...

This is what I would like to say. Leon Edwards was offered three different opponents. He never refused. This guy is a great guy. He was given three options. “Yes, yes and yes,” were his answers. I really respect this attitude.

It was not about money, but about time. Injuries and other shit happen. We wanted to bring the most powerful fights to the tournament,” said the functionary.
