Top welterweight excluded from UFC rankings

Top welterweight Leon Edwards, who was recently ranked third in the welterweight rankings, was excluded from the UFC ratings. The fighter confirmed this information in a conversation with journalist Cole Shelton. The reason is the inactivity of the fighter.

Edwards was due to fight Woodley in March this year, but the fight was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. Later, Leon was offered a number of fights, including against Usman and Thompson, but he turned down all these fights.
