Leon Edwards expects to dominate and finish Khamzat Chimaev at UFC Vegas 21 on March 13.<\/p>\n

In the main event of the card<\/a>, Edwards and Chimaev will finally fight one another after both men were forced to pull out of the previously scheduled fights due to COVID-19. It is a very intriguing fight given Edwards has proven to be a legit title contender while Chimaev has yet to face a ranked opponent.<\/p>\n

Despite Edwards being the one to have proven himself at welterweight, it is Chimaev the betting favorite but the Englishman is confident he will get his hand raised.<\/p>\n

“I’m going out there for the finish, I feel like I need to prove my case, make a stronger case for the world title. So I’m going out there for the finish,” Edwards said to Submission Radio<\/a>. “I’m going out there to test everything that he is about, I’m looking to finish.”<\/p>\n

Although Khamzat Chimaev has looked unbeatable in the UFC, Edwards believes he is just better and will get his hand raised. Not only will he win and get a finish, but he expects to dominate the fight with an aggressive fight and remind everyone just how good he is.<\/p>\n

“For a while, I was fighting just to prove myself. People thought I couldn’t go five rounds so I go five rounds,” Edwards said. “Then it is I can’t wrestle, so I wrestle. I’m just trying to prove something in every fight but this one I’m just going out to be myself and dominate. It has been a while, I want to fight and want to compete. I\u2019m going out there looking to be aggressive and looking to finish and test everything he\u2019s about and get that victory.”<\/p>\n

If Leon Edwards does end up finishing Khamzat Chimaev there is a good chance his next fight is a title fight.<\/p>\n
