“I feel like they’ve been doing that for the last 8 fights, but I can’t be beaten.”
From his interview with Ariel Helwani.
Edwards thinks the UFC is trying to use his name to build Khamzat.
He also believes a win will guarantee him a title shot, which will be a nice way to finish the year.
Leon Edwards believes he is being set up to lose to Khamzat Chimaev - Current MMA
I don’t think he’s wrong
will be an interesting fight, if Leon keeps it standing I think he wins this
I’m guessing this guy is an up and coming star, but I guess I’ve officially been pushed into being just a casual fan.
I know who Chimaev is though… so maybe the UFC really is pushing him more. Maybe Leo should use this as an opportunity to further himself and just focus on winning.
Some guys need a chip on their shoulder to operate to their potential. Go head Leon. I’d like to see Chimaev tested
Russ -I don’t think he’s wrong

What has shown Leon to have better striking than khazmat? And with the threat of wrestling, could Leon’s striking be less effective? I think so.
Russ -I don’t think he’s wrong

The problem is Leon doesn’t have a chance in hell to keep it standing only.
This marketing strat rarely ends up well. The ufc can match you with an endless assault of murderers with no name, eventually you lose and Dana will say you suck.
He has to win this fight now
He's right but it's also his chance to stick it to everyone and get famous
