Twitter Reacts To Leon Edwards’ Decision Win Over Rafael Dos Anjos | UFC Betting Sites

Fight fans and fighters had a lot to say about the impressive win that Leon Edwards put on against Rafael dos Anjos in their first meeting.

As seen in the fight, which served as the headliner of the UFC San Antonio event, Edwards was able to pick up a unanimous decision win over the former UFC lightweight champion.

This fight took place on Saturday night (July 20, 2019) from the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas on ESPN. RDA had to deal with a nasty cut over his right eye that nearly had the fight be stopped by the doctor in the second round. RDA’s gameplan was to use leg kicks to slow down Edwards and then take the fight to the ground.

Edwards used some great defense to slow this strategy down while implementing his own striking attack that was a big factor in such a great fight.

MUCH RESPECT to #RDA for trying for the finish in 5th against #LeonEdwards. Should be dec. win for recipient of #JorgeMasvidal's infamous #3PieceAndASoda backstage assault (or self-defense .. w/e) at #UFCSanAntonio. Screw reveal of judges opinions, time for #PacquiaovsThurman!

Leon Edwards has now won 8 in the row in the #UFC.

Only 13 fighters in UFC history have won more in a row.

Fight goes the distance. Leon Edwards will surely win. I had it 50-45 for Rocky.

Does he call out Masvidal on the mic? We shall see…

Outstanding performance by Leon Edwards. Smart, composed, complete performance, over five rounds, against a former champion in Rafael dos Anjos.

Dear @ufc RDA's cutman needs a raise! #UFCSanAntonio

Poetic to me that Leon Edwards, who I espoused as one of the most underrated fighters in the world for five years, is going to get his biggest career victory on the San Antonio Spurs court. Nothing flashy, just perfect and smart tactics and technique. He's the Welter Fundamental.
