Michael Bisping, a former UFC middleweight champion, noted that Khamzat Chimaev beat Leon Edwards and become the new welterweight champion.
“The problem is that the top five, and really the guys in the top ten welterweights, are very, very technical and strong grapplers. I'm not saying he can't beat them, but that's a problem for Leon. In the end, I think that Edwards will lose his title to one of them. Probably, very soon Khamzat Chimaev will be with the welterweight belt. This guy can beat Leon,” said the “Count”.
