Edwards: It will be difficult for McGregor to compete with top fighters

UFC Welterweight Champion Leon Edwards believes that the former holder of titles in two divisions Conor McGregor it will be difficult to compete with top fighters if the Irishman wants to return to the octagon.

“I think it will be difficult for him to come back and compete with fighters from the top 5. Conor has gained a lot of muscle mass, which greatly affects the fighter. Especially considering the fact that he had a broken leg and could not train at full strength.

But I would like him to return and perform successfully. I am not his hater. His success does not overshadow mine, so I hope that he will return and be successful, ”MMA News quotes the British.

Recall that McGregor had his last fight in July last year, losing to Dustin Poirier by technical knockout due to a broken leg.
