A surging welterweight has revealed what he expects from Leon Edwards at UFC 322.
Edwards is scheduled to share the Octagon with Carlos Prates in New York Metropolis on Saturday. Many consider it may very well be “Rocky’s” closing probability to show he nonetheless has some juice left within the tank following two one-sided losses.
Edwards’ most up-to-date opponent, Sean Brady, believes that the previous welterweight titleholder ought to be various in his combat in opposition to Prates (h/t MMAJunkie).
“I feel if Leon’s good, he’ll exit right here and do combined martial arts – combine it up,” Brady stated on the “BradyBagz Present.” “Clearly, Leon’s a striker, however I feel he has actually good takedowns, too. He took down (Kamaru) Usman, he took down Colby (Covington). He’s taken down a superb quantity of individuals, so I feel if he’s good, he’ll combine it up, not simply go on the market and attempt to strike your complete time with Prates as a result of in the event you do this, you’re giving Prates the chance to complete you, and we’ve seen how good he’s on the ft.
“In case you look again at Leon’s file, he was taking down (Rafael dos Anjos) after they fought, he took down Gunnar Nelson, Belal (Muhammad). He gained two rounds in opposition to Belal on the bottom – took him down, took his again. So I feel if he’s good, he’ll do this to Prates. Clearly within the Ian Garry combat, Ian was capable of take him down and I feel Leon can have the identical path. I’m going to select Leon – I do assume he’s going to win.”
Brady fought Edwards again in March. His grappling was on full show within the combat, and he topped it off with a fourth-round submission end. Brady may even compete on the UFC 322 card, as he’s set to face the undefeated Michael Morales.
