Leon Edwards: “There were unseen circumstances that caused that. We’re moving forward,” Edwards informed a information convention on Thursday. “I’m excited to go out there and perform again. I feel like I’m going in there to out my wrongs right. I feel like I owe I to the UK fans and myself.

“I used to be strolling in the direction of him and he had his back turned to me, I used to be like ‘the place the f*** is Sean? He circled I used to be like what the hell. “I feel like the size difference, the reach, the strength, will play a big part in the fight. For me yes 100%. I’m still ranked No. 1 in the division, there’s been no movement in the division since I last fought. I’ll go out there, get a good performance against Sean, put him away, finish him and it will put me right back in line to where I belong.”

Sean Brady: “I think that’s a bad look on Leon to be thinking about other people when all I’m thinking about is fighting him,” Brady stated. “He’s thinking about No. 1 contenders, and getting back at Belal, and talking sh*t about Belal. But he’s got someone who’s trying to kill him Saturday night in front of him, and he has more things to be concerned about than being a No. 1 contender in the division.

“I’m not trying to get a title shot out of this. I’m not trying to rush it. That’s what I did before in my career. I went into the Belal (Muhammad) fight pushing for it so hard and it turned out that wasn’t the night for me. So, I’m going to go out there, I’m going to do my job, get my hand raised by any means necessary, and then wherever I go from there, I go.”
