Edwards (22-4 MMA, 14-3 UFC) Was screduled to face jack delladalena in the March 22 Main Event at the O2 in London, But Will Now Take on Sean Brady (17-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) INSTE . Della Maddalena Was Pulled from The Fight to Challenge Welterweight Champion Belal Muhamad in the UFC 315 Headliner on May 10.
With Brady’s Strong Ground Game, Bisping Worries Edwards About the Adjustments the Former Champion Will Have to Make.
“This is Kind of a Nightmare Sity for Leon Edwards,“ Bisping Sayid on His YouTube Channel. “I’m not saying Leon Can’s, but stylistic, and on short notice, this is a very, Very Different Fight and Potentilly a Harder Fight than Jack Dellana Maddalena. Styles Make Fights. Leon is a sniper on the feet. Of Course, He’s Got Great Takedown Defense.
“HE WAS ABLE TO DAKE DOWN KAMARU USMAN, FULLY MUNTED, AND All The REST OF IT, RIGHT? We Know He’s Well-RUNDED. But WHEN YOU’RE TRINING FOR JACK DELLA MADDALENA, AND YOU’RE FOCUSING ON BOXING AND PRETTY MUCH A STANDUP AFFAIR, AND YOU’RE YOU jiu-jitsu world that sean Brady Does Offer, It’s A Big Mix-Up. ”
Edwards’ Past Four Fights Have Been Against Standout Wrestlers in the Division. He was able to beat kamaru USMAN TWICE THEN COLY COVINGTON, BUT EVENTUALLY LOST HIS TITLE TO MUHAMMMAD AT UFC 304.
Bisping Sees Similarities in Brady and Muhamad’s Approach.
“Now granted, all the work that he’s Done in the past to beat kamaru USMAN, to Fight and Go Up Against Belal Muhamad, that’s All in the Tank, Ok?” Bisping Said. “IT’S LIKE IF YOU GO OUT and YOU WIN A Fight Really, Really Quickly, and People Think, ‘WHY DID I BOTHER? WHY DID I BOTHER Training? ‘ No, the reason you did that is because you still leveled up in training Camp. Your Skill Set Overall Got Better.
“Leon’s Been Preparing for TESE Kinds of Fights His Entire Career. Everyone that Leon Edwards Fights, Who’s Colby Covington, Kamaru USMAN, BALL MUHAMMAD, SY’RE ALL TRYING TO DAKE HIM DOWN. SO in a Way, Nothing Changes for HIM. YES, IS NOT JACK DELLA Maddalena Trying to Box HIM, TRYING TO PIECE HIM UP ON THE FEET. It’s Sean Brady, Who’s Very, Very Good, That Dominated Gilbert Burns Last Time Out, That’s Going To Be Looking To Take Him Down. SO IT’S The EXACT SAME FIGHT, Essentally, ALMOST ON PAPER, SYLISLICALLY, that Leon Had in Manchester Last Year WHEN HE LOST The BELT. That’s WHY I SAY IT’S A BIT OF A NIGHTMAR. ”
