“What the F**k You On About” – Leon Edwards Rubbishes Conor McGregor UFC Rumour

UFC welterweight fighter Leon Edwards has reacted to a wild rumor about him in a hilarious way. Former UFC star Chael Sonnen said Leon Edwards is getting paid by the UFC to step aside for Conor McGregor. The #2 ranked welterweight fighter is expected to face champion Kamaru Usman for a title fight soon.

Sonnen’s claim made a lot of noise on social media, and Edwards decided to end it in his own style. The 30-year-old quote tweeted a news piece about Sonnen’s comments and added his two bits to the controversy.

Chael Sonnen recently shook the UFC welterweight fans after Dana White almost confirmed Leon Edwards as the next challenger to Kamaru Usman’s belt. He said on his YouTube channel, “I am being told that Leon has been offered his show and his win, whatever was negotiated for Leon to fight Kamaru is being offered to him.”

“‘We will mail you a cheque to step aside. We have the right to push you aside, (but) we don’t want any hard feelings. And, we acknowledge that you deserve this. So, we are going to send you what you agreed on and you get to stay home.’ With the belief being that Conor’s gonna step in.”

Conor McGregor had shown interest in making a comeback with a title fight against the UFC pound-for-pound king. However, the ‘Nigerian Nightmare’ laughed off the idea, claiming it would be a murder inside the Octagon.
