Streaking UFC welterweight contender Leon Edwards has some advice for Khamzat Chimaev, who has recently made many high-profile callouts.<\/p>\n

Chimaev is easily the most hyped prospect in MMA at present, having gone 3-0 since July, with wins over John Phillips, Rhys McKee and most recently, Gerald Meerschaert. On the heels of those wins, the welterweight and middleweight super-prospect has called for fights with the likes of Kamaru Usman, Israel Adesanya, Conor McGregor, Jorge Masvidal, Nick Diaz, Demian Maia and Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson. Edwards, however, believes the Sweden-based Russian is getting a bit ahead of himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs far as Chimaev, he\u2019s only had what one fight at welterweight against a lightweight guy?\u201d Edwards told MMA Fighting<\/a> of Khamzat Chimaev. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to judge from that. When he\u2019s calling me out, I don\u2019t really pay attention. It is what it is. I don\u2019t really pay attention too much.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has to at least beat somebody in the top-f**king-25 before you go straight to f**king fight No. 3,\u201d Edwards added. \u201cAt least fight somebody in the top-25 or -30 first.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen we can go and start talking from there, but the MMA community is literally… if you feed them anything, they\u2019ll buy into it. It is what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leon Edwards is currently on an eight-fight win-streak in the UFC welterweight division, highlighted by victories over the likes of Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone, Gunnar Nelson and Rafael dos Anjos. Unfortunately, he has not fought in well over a year. The Brit was expected to take on Tyron Woodley in London earlier in 2020, but that plan unfortunately fell through due to the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

Since that nixed fight with Woodley, Edwards has struggled greatly to find a willing dance partner. Recently, he was called out by the two-time welterweight title challenger “Wonderboy” Thompson, but he made no secret<\/a> of his disinterest in that matchup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
