“You were knocked out with a jab,” Edwards wrote.
Leon's publication concerns the defeat of Durinho, who was defeated in his last appearance in the clash against Kamaru Usman. At the time, the Brazilian was competing for the category title, but ended up succumbing to the strength of the champion.
Gilbert's analysis of Edwards' performance in the UFC 263 It was based on the idea that the Englishman could, in the future, compete for the division title. According to the Brazilian, the points victory over Diaz was not convincing and the fighter does not deserve the chance.
Seeking to regain his status as a challenger, Durinho has a fight scheduled against Stephen Thompson. The Niteroi native faces the karateka in the co-main fight of the UFC 264, on July 10th.
