Rumor is Usman’s camp is waiting to see how Edwards looks. If he wins convincingly, they’ll push for a match with Edwards.
Jourdain has the potential to be very good but needs to work on his defence. The harder hitters in his division won't let him hang around.
Too many fouls lately. Can't imagine Muhammad pictured himself crying at the end of this event in his dreams.

I feel for Muhammad there...he deserved another big time fight on a big card or a fight night headliner. Feel for Leon, too. Hopefully they can get him booked again soon. I don't want to see him vs Muhammad. Maybe Colby or Khamzat?
