Edwards: 'Training with Khabib doesn't make Muhammad better'

Dmitriy Kel June 26, 2024, 7:14 a.m.

UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards says he is not at all bothered by the fact that his title challenger Belal Muhammad periodically trains with Khabib Nurmagomedov's team.

"I've said before that I don't pay much attention to it. Training with Khabib doesn't make him better. But if his bet is on a guy to stand in the corner, it changes some things. But in the fight, Belal will be left alone with his skills. I don't care who he trains with or who's in his corner. When fight night comes, it will be just us in the cage and Belal will have something to answer for," MMA Mania quotes Edwards as saying.

Recall that Edwards and Muhammad will fight on July 27 in the main event of UFC 304 in Manchester, UK.
