Leon Edwards, the UFC welterweight champion, talked about how he feels about the fact that their fight with Belal Muhammad will take place at 5 a.m.
"Yes, the bout will take place around 5am, so I have to readjust. I think it should have been on UK time, but we have what we have. It has to do with the PPV in America. I understand the UFC changed the venue but the broadcast couldn't be rescheduled, which is why Dana decided to do it. I'm going to meet with a sleep specialist, we'll see what he says. I have a small team, but we've been together for eight or nine years and we know how to adapt to change. I fight in Manchester at three in the morning, but I didn't know about it beforehand," Edwards said on The MMA Hour podcast.
As a reminder, Muhammad's confrontation with Edwards will take place on July 27 in Manchester at UFC 304.
