MMA Fighting<\/a> this week, the rising Englishman Edwards divulged that he’s not big on Cowboy’s approach to competition, suggesting that the American no longer cares about wins or losses.<\/p>\n\u201cHe\u2019s a legend of the sport, but I wouldn\u2019t say I was a fan of his,\u201d Edwards said.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust [because] his approach to fighting, I think it\u2019s more like a journeyman,” Edwards continued. “I don\u2019t think he cares whether he wins or loses. He just shows up and as long as he fights, that\u2019s good for him. To me, I think his approach is more like a journeyman approach. You\u2019re just there to fight, you\u2019re not there to win or lose. I don\u2019t think it bothers him, whether he wins or loses anyway \u2014 that\u2019s his approach. But my approach is I want to win every fight and I want to be a world champion. That\u2019s my aim in the sport.\u201d<\/p>\n
Edwards also feels that, at this point, the blueprint for beating Cowboy has become quite clear.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve watched his last four or five fights, and honestly there\u2019s a blueprint there, and I can [execute] it,” Edwards said. “As far as why he\u2019s really struggling, I don\u2019t know.\u00a0Welterweight\u00a0is probably just too big for him, or his chin is deteriorating. It could be anything. Like I said, he\u2019s a 36-year-old man. His style of fighting, the way he\u2019s fought, it\u2019s been the same realistically for, what, his last 10 or 15 fights? I don\u2019t think there\u2019s much different in his game, really, that\u2019s changed over the last 10 or 15 fights, from what I\u2019ve seen anyway. So people are probably just getting used to what he does and what he throws, and everything else. There\u2019s no [mystery] there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Do you agree with Leon Edwards’ comments on Donald Cerrone?<\/p>\n
