Leon Edwards, who is Diaz’s most recent opponent, believes that the Stockton native deserves upper, seeing that he already made the UFC a lot of money over time.

“If I had to put money on it I’d nearly without a doubt pass Khamzat – on the other hand I’d love Nate to get it completed,” Edwards mentioned on a media scrum in London. (Transcript by the use of MMA Junkie). “He’s completed any such lot for the company and I would like they gave him a veteran, a nice struggle to bow out to.

“To supply an up-and-coming guy that’s had 4 or 5 fights throughout the UFC, and a wrestler guy as neatly – I believe they f—ked up. They should’ve gave him a better struggle. On the other hand I would love Nate to get it completed. On the other hand as I mentioned, if I’m a betting man I’d nearly without a doubt pass with Khamzat.”

Edwards beat Diaz final year, on the other hand maintains a healthy appreciate for his former foe that he moreover grew up watching.

“You can’t not like Nate,” Edwards mentioned. “I would like him neatly in his career and regardless of he must do next, Jake Paul or any place he decides to go.”
