UFC American welterweight Belal Muhammad commented on the recent statement of the head of the promotion Dana White that the champion of the division Leon Edwards was offered three different opponents at the ...
"I know that they offered the fight to Makhachev, and I know that Islam refused. But I don't believe they offered this fight to Rakhmonov because Shavkat is injured, and I don't believe they offered it to Hamzat because he won't make the weight.
I think this was said to create hype around Edwards. Leon doesn't do social media, doesn't do interviews, doesn't promote himself. Dana White is a promoter and he has to promote the guy himself! But if they really wanted him at UFC 300, they know they could call me and I would say yes," Muhammad told SiriusXM.
Edwards last fought at UFC 296 in December, defeating Colby Covington by unanimous decision.
