UFC Welterweight contender Leon Edwards is set to face Belal Muhammad this Saturday in his much-awaited comeback to the cage. He has been promised a title shot by Dana White if he wins this fight spectacularly. Edwards has said that he is completely focused on the fight, since murmurs of a title shot can often be extremely distracting.

Meanwhile, his opponent, Belal Muhammad, sat down in a press conference ahead of his UFC Vegas 21 bout against Leon Edwards. Leon is coming off of a huge hiatus, and it was one of the talking points in the presser.

The reporter asked him about his preparation for Edwards as there are only a handful of videotapes available on him. “I’m not a big tape watcher,” he said.

“It’s one of those where I let my instincts do the talking for me. My coaches will watch see to the subtleties, but there’s no substitute for cage time, for fight time.”

Belal expanded on the importance of in-ring experiences and said that having the best coaches and nutritionists isn’t good enough. He said that a fighter has to show up on fight night and be that fighter that day.

“I literally was just in there. It’s just another day in the office for me,” he said, referring to his February 14th fight against Dhiego Lima.

Belal Muhammad wants to make Leon Edwards bleed

He talked up his chances for the match-up and said that he is the kind of fighter that can make his opponent breathe hard. Belal promised a tough time for Edwards and said that he would make him sweat and bleed.

The Brit last fought over 600 days ago against Rafael dos Anjos, and Belal will look to capitalize on the same.
