Edwards’ Muhammad desire
“I’ve been trying to fight Belal now for a while. I got asked for 300, I said yes to everyone, three opponents. I even said, ‘What about Belal?’ And they were like, ‘No,’” Edwards said while laughing, “I was like, ‘I’ll fight whoever,’ because I knew for that, it was such a huge card and it would have done great (things) for my career.
“After those three (Makhachev, Rakhmonov, and Chimaev) said no, I said, ‘What about Belal?’ They didn’t even entertain it, so it is what it is,” Edwards added.
