Leon Edwards has called out former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley to fight him next.
“Rocky” wants the fight to take place at UFC London when the Las Vegas-based mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion returns to his home country. However, this seems to be a deal-breaker for “T-Wood.” Speaking on the “Eurobash” podcast, Edwards claims he has heard Woodley wants the fight, but doesn’t want it to take place in London. (H/T MMA Fighting)
“I feel like the fans are pushing for this now. Now, they’re getting what I’ve been saying for years, that I’m the best fighter in the U.K. I’m proving it every fight. I can see that they’re pushing to see that Woodley fight in the London main event and I think that’s the fight that makes sense,” Edwards said.
“I’m hoping he takes it, but from what I’m hearing he won’t come to London. He says he’ll fight, but not in London. That makes no sense. We’re in negotiations now and hopefully I’ll know this week. I’m meeting with the UFC, so I’ll have more information about that and what’s going on. What I’m hearing is he doesn’t want to come to London, so we’re trying to force him to come to London.”
Woodley comes off of a unanimous decision loss to Kamaru Usman earlier this year, in which he dropped the welterweight crown to “The Nigerian Nightmare.” Now, Woodley is looking to begin his quest back to the title, hopefully, with a victory over a streaking Edwards.
Edwards is currently on an impressive eight-fight win streak over some notable names in the division. However, the streak has flown under the radar. If Edwards can pick up a win over a former champion, and a dominant one at that, in Woodley, there will be no denying him a title shot.
Do you think Woodley will end up accepting a fight with Edwards in London?

Former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley is ready to return to action — however, fighting outside the United States doesn’t interest him.
Woodley hasn’t competed since losing his title to Kamaru Usman at UFC 235 in March earlier this year. There is talk of him returning to action against Leon Edwards who has called for a fight to take place at UFC London in March for a while now.
However, there has been no real update on a fight yet. But make no mistake about it — Woodley is itching to compete again and get his title back:
“I’m starving to get the strap and watching all this press conference sh*t is so corny and so tacky man,” Woodley said in a live chat (via BJ Penn). “They’re making the belt look dumb so I gotta get back in there.
“Everybody thinks it’s something until they get in that pocket. They complain and they wanted me to be a champion in a different way, but I was a champion my way. Now you guys understand that it’s different. It’s different when you’re in the pocket. So much demand, so much sh*t you gotta do.”
The only problem for now is the location for his next fight. He prefers to fight in the United States rather than travel to London for fight duties:
“I’m ready to fight soon, man,” he added. “They want me to fight in London. F*ck that, I’m not going all the way to London to fight. I’m the five-time world champion, I’m gonna fight f*cking here. January 18th, January 25th, February 8th, I wanna fight in the States.
“I don’t wanna go out of the country and fight. When I go out of the country I wanna be on vacation.”
What do you make of Woodley’s comments?

UFC welterweight contender Leon Edwards plans on becoming a world champion next year.
Edwards is on a seven-fight winning streak and most recently outpointed Rafael dos Anjos in their UFC San Antonio headliner in the summer.
“Rocky” was hoping to face Jorge Masvidal soon after especially with the backstory that they have from earlier this year. However, with the BMF title fight that ensued last month, he was somewhat left in limbo.
For now, his plan seems to involve former welterweight champion Tyron Woodley as he called him out for a fight at UFC London.
A potential win over “The Chosen One” would put Edwards in prime position to face the welterweight champion next. And if things pan out the way he’s envisioning, he is expecting to become the new welterweight king soon:
“2020 I will be a world champion,” Edwards tweeted on Sunday.
As of now, there is no update on whether Edwards will face Woodley. He even claimed in October that they were offered a co-main spot for UFC 246. Maybe we will get some updates in the coming weeks.
When it comes to the welterweight title, current champion Kamaru Usman defends his crown against Colby Covington at UFC 245 on December 14. And Edwards will certainly be keeping a close eye on that contest.
Do you think Edwards will become welterweight champion in 2020?
