When and where the presumed rematch comes against Usman is unknown, but after balancing touring and training over the last couple of months, Edwards said he returned to the gym in earnest after attending UFC 280.
After potentially landing the greatest head kick in UFC history, Edwards is sharply focused on proving his victory was anything but a fluke. His journey to the top backs up that rebuttal, but Edwards is also more than comfortable proving doubters wrong.
The pomp and circumstance of champ life is anything but overwhelming to him. He achieved his greatest goal, and now comes the errand of adding to an instantly iconic legacy.
“It’s been nonstop busy, but this is what I’ve worked for an awful long time,” he said. “I am excited to carry on this journey to be one of the best of all-time.”
