Leon Edwards doesn’t think the UFC world title looks right on Belal Muhammad

UFC star Leon Edwards has stated that he doesn’t think the UFC welterweight championship looks right on his old rival Belal Muhammad.

This weekend, Leon Edwards will kickstart his push to get back to the world title at 170 pounds. He will go head to head with Sean Brady in the main event of UFC London, which is expected to be a really tight, interesting clash between two men with very different styles.

Of course, Edwards is in this position because he lost his belt at the hands of Belal Muhammad in their rematch last year. Muhammad was fairly dominant from start to finish, leaving many to wonder whether or not ‘Rocky’ would be able to do anything different in a trilogy fight.

Now, Edwards has said that he believes Muhammad doesn’t look right as the champion of the division.

Leon Edwards says the belt “doesn’t look right” on Belal Muhammad

“[Belal] said if he lost he would’ve retired. I wish this guy f***ing retired, he’s annoying.

It doesn’t look right on him, the belt.”

Edwards hits out at Muhammad

“Every time I see him, I think, ‘For f—k’s sake.’ He said to me if he lost, he would’ve retired. I’m like, ah, mate, I wish this guy f—ing retired because he’s annoying,” Edwards said. “It doesn’t look right on him, the belt. It is what it is.”
