UFC top welterweight Leon Edwards has once again shared his thoughts on the rematch between the division champion Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal.

“If I had to bet money, I would choose Usman. I just don't see what Masvidal can change. He is smaller in stature, not strong in wrestling. His striking is not impressive. I don't know what he needs to do to seriously change his style. He has been fighting in the same style for a long time,” Edwards told ESPN.

The rematch of Usman and Masvidal will take place on April 24 at UFC 261 in Jacksonville, Florida. In the first bout, held last July, Usman won by unanimous decision.
