Top UFC welterweight contender Leon Edwards has title ambitions ahead of his UFC 263 bout with Nate Diaz, and he’s willing to wait as long as it takes to get to the champion Kamaru Usman if he gets the win on Saturday.
Edwards has had an unusual series of fights over the past few years. Despite winning eight straight fights since losing to Usman at UFC on Fox 17, he’s fought just once in nearly two years and is coming off a no-contest against Belal Muhammad due to an accidental eye poke.
Before that, he had been one of the hottest welterweights in the division with big wins over former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos, fan-favorite Donald Cerrone, and grappling specialist Gunnar Nelson. Despite the unusual circumstances, Edwards feels his next fight should be for the UFC welterweight belt with a win over Diaz at UFC 263.
“I don’t know how Dana is justifying giving Colby the title shot,” Edwards said in a recent interview with ESPN. “He went out there, it was an injury against Tyron Woodley, he sat out for over a year and demanded that he wants a title shot after just getting knocked out for the title like one fight ago. I just don’t understand how they’re even considering that when I’ve been here for years, grinding my way back up from my last defeat.”
“I went on an eight-fight win streak, soon to be nine, so after I go out there and defeat Nate next weekend, I’ll be waiting for my title shot. There’s Usman, GSP, and me for the most wins, so I’ll go out there and prove my case.”
Edwards will look to put on another impressive performance against Diaz on Saturday. Diaz is making his return to the octagon after long hiatus since his loss against Jorge Masvidal at UFC 244.
UFC president Dana White has already confirmed that either Diaz or Edwards will be second-in-line for the title shot behind Colby Covington with a win. The five-round main card fight will garner the attention of fans around the world with a lot on the line.

Regardless of the outcome of his unprecedented fight at UFC 263, Nate Diaz believes his title shot is coming soon.
Diaz (20-12 MMA, 15-10 UFC) is making his much-anticipated return to the octagon this weekend against Leon Edwards (18-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC) for UFC 263 at the Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona. In an event stacked from top to bottom with great fights, the matchup will make UFC history as its first non-title, non-main event in the promotion’s history.
Diaz is easily one of the most beloved and recognizable faces in the sport. So satisfying his desire for a five-round fight was a no-brainer for the UFC. A perennial fan favorite, his fan base is massive, with 4.8 million Instagram followers and 1.7 million on Twitter. Diaz recently sat down with Rolling Stone and reflected on his success.
“History just happens for me, huh?” Diaz tells the magazine. “I was just like, ‘I’m trying to fight a main event for five rounds.’ They’re just like, ‘We got a main event with these guys.’ I’m like, ‘Whatever, I’m the main event either way. Let’s do it (for five rounds).”
With the aura of a main event, we are sure to see fireworks when Diaz and Edwards enter the octagon. Considered by many as one of the most dangerous fighters in the division behind Usman, Edwards is the real deal. Having amassed an eight-fight win streak leading up to the event, the matchup will not be an easy task for Diaz. Oddsmakers considering him a moderate underdog.
Still, Diaz believes that he will take what he wants by defeating Edwards and shocking the world.
“He’s the top guy, he’s the guy who has been beating everybody, so why wouldn’t I fight the best guy?” Diaz said. “It’s impressive when somebody can win that many times in a row in the big show… He knows how to win and he knows how to get it done, so it’s going to be a serious, but not serious fight. I gotta kill the motherf*cker.”
It’s a tall task for sure, but for Diaz, win or lose, he still wins.
“I don’t care if I lose, I’m (still) fighting for the title,” Diaz said. “The plan is win here and then we’ll see who’s next for me. … I’m rolling with the punches right now, but whatever I’m going to do it’s going to be bigger than anything anybody is going to do.”
