Reigning UFC welterweight champion, Leon Edwards, commented on rumors that undefeated Irish fighter Ian Machado Garry, who not too long ago trained with him on the same team, was knocked out by him in sparring.
“No, I didn’t knock him out clean, but he got a little taste of what Kamaru Usman landed, it really was,” MMA Fighting quoted the Brit as saying. “As for him leaving, I can say that somehow he didn’t fit into the team right away.”
“I think this is the third gym he’s been kicked out of. He’s very difficult to work with. Everywhere he went, he had a camera with him. Everywhere he went, he had a camera, his wife and his kid with him. It’s a very difficult environment to work in
Recall that both fighters will take part in the UFC 296 tournament, which will take place on December 16 in Las Vegas. Leon Edwards in the main event of the event will come to the defense of the championship belt against American Colby Covington, and Ian Machado Garry will try to defeat Brazilian Vicente Luque and get a seventh consecutive victory in the strongest league in the world.
