Leon Edwards said he is ready for anyone now that Khamzat Chimaev has left the UFC Fight Night headline on March 13th.
Among them is Colby Covington, whom UFC President Dana White on Friday considered a leader in the fight with Edwards next month at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. However, the match is far from over.
Edwards (18-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC) does not seem to be afraid of taking over Covington (16-2 MMA, 11-2 UFC), however, as he stated on Saturday that he is ready Twitter):
Colby can get this work too. Then the next title. The season of his belt

Immediately after Chimaev’s withdrawal due to COVID-19 complications, Edwards asked Nate Diaz to fight. Diaz hit him with his stiff arm, however, repelling the Briton with a famous meme Conor McGregor (through Twitter):
Edwards didn’t like Diaz’s response (20-12 MMA, 15-10 UFC) and announced it (via Twitter):
Understand your Photoshop skills as bad as your battle record. and you used the wtf conor line 😂
And finally, Edwards aimed at his longtime rival, Jorge Masvidal. The pair have a colorful history, Masvidal infamously hit Edwards behind the scenes after they both won a March 2019 event in London.
The card that Edwards claims in March is almost exactly two years until the day of the incident with Masvidal (35-14 MMA, 12-7 UFC). However, Edwards does not seem optimistic about a resolution (via Twitter):
We all know that Jorge’s bitch won’t be anywhere when it comes to fighting me. 😂
Although high-profile fights seem to be plentiful for Edwards, it remains to be seen who, if any, will agree to join the octagon with him in a month from now.
