Leon Edwards faced setbacks in his last fight, losing his title to Belal Muhammad. Following this defeat, Edwards’ future seemed uncertain—whether he would take another fight before pursuing the title again or wait for a rematch. Fans now have clarity as ‘Rocky’ is set to return at UFC Fight Night: London in March 2025. Meanwhile, on social media, fans have been speculating about the potential outcome of a hypothetical fight between Carlos Prates and Edwards.
Prates has been making waves since his UFC debut, remaining undefeated in the promotion. Currently, on a 5-fight win streak, he has established his dominance in the welterweight division. In his most recent bout, Prates delivered a first-round knockout against Neil Magny, a victory that also boosted his divisional ranking.
As his winning streak continues, fans have started comparing ‘The Nightmare’ to Leon Edwards, sparking discussions about a potential fight between the two. Many fans have thrown their support behind the Brazilian, with one even commenting, “Easiest KO of Prates’ career.”
