Michael Bisping makes case for Leon Edwards defying grim stats to reach the top again... and why UFC London crowd can be 'blessing or curse'
Leon Edwards has made his ambition to become a two-time UFC champion crystal clear and the road back starts at UFC London this Saturday night. So does Michael Bisping, Britain's first UFC champion, working as TNT Sports pundit on Saturday, think Edwards can defy the odds and become one of the 12% who touch gold twice? Leon Edwards is striving to be one of the few dethroned champions to make it back to the top Edwards suffered defeat by Belal Muhammad to lose the belt in Manchester last year 'Fight sports you scratch and claw your way to become the champ, you get to the top, the absolute pinnacle and you hold it there for a while before you start to come down the other side. Michael Bisping, pictured with Adam Catterall and Nick Peet on TNT Sports Edwards is out to show he is still a class above the other challengers at welterweight 'But for Leon now I think it brings a lot of pressure, extra pressure, because you're the man of the moment, people pull you in all different directions, you've got a tonne of media to do, every man and his dog wants tickets from you and you also feel pressure to live up to the moment.
