Edwards called Muhammad a fighter not on his level

Leon Edwards, UFC welterweight champion, has spoken out about his upcoming bout with Belal Muhammad.

"Everybody knows he's not on my level. It's just the facts. He's gotten better, but so have I. There are levels in this game, and I truly believe I'm a few levels higher.

I need an early win, any other win won't be enough for me. After everything this guy has said on social media, he deserves to get his ass kicked," Edwards said.

Recall that Edwards' fight with Muhammad will take place on July 27 at UFC 304 in Manchester.
