Leon Edwards is targeting potential fights against Conor McGregor and Islam Makhachev after his main event bout in next month's UFC 304.
UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards is targeting potential fights against Conor McGregor and Islam Makhachev. Edwards will make a third defence of his title when he takes on Belal Muhammed in Manchester on July 27 in the main event of the UFC 304 card. The fight will be a rematch of their meeting in March 2021 which ended in a no-contest, following a poke to the eye in the second round left Muhammad unable to continue.
To get McGregor and to headline at an iconic venue like Maddison Square Garden would be brilliant. 'I think I'm the better fighter, I'd be the bigger guy in there. It would be a great fight.' It has been three years since McGregor last fought in the UFC after breaking his left leg in the first round of his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier. Edwards believes McGregor will return with a victory. 'I can see a victory for Conor in a lot of ways.
