Former UFC champion Leon Edwards has claimed that he didn’t realize how small Sean Brady was until their recent faceoff. In the last three years or so, Leon Edwards has been on a real rollercoaster ride in the world of mixed martial arts.

From there, you could make the argument that he became one of the biggest names in the sport. “Headshot, dead” alone was enough to make him the poster boy of British MMA – a spot which he had earned through years of hard work and dedication.
