American mixed martial arts veteran Nate Diaz expressed that UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards is the best fighter in the promotion right now.
"Right now the toughest guy in the UFC is Leon Edwards. I have him in my sights. I like the idea of fighting him. He's doing well in every challenge. I think Leon has gotten better [since our fight], his business is going up. This guy is a good fighter. He's probably the best fighter in the UFC right now," Diaz is quoted by BJ Penn.
Recall that in June 2021, Edwards defeated Diaz by unanimous decision of judges in a five-round fight. The meeting took place in the framework of the tournament UFC 263.
