Coronavirus helped Edwards become UFC champion

UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards expressed confidence that the coronavirus pandemic helped him win the championship belt.

ā€œI believe that the two years during which I was absent due to the pandemic prepared me for this moment. What has not happened during this time - ups and downs, deletions from the ratings. Yet it all prepared me for the main fight of my career. If I had not gone through all this, then the fight with Usman would not have turned out like this, ā€said the Briton.

Recall that in August last year, Edwards knocked out Usman in the fifth round and took away the UFC champion belt from him.
