Woodley Vs Edwards Odds Rating: 3,7/5 2124 reviews

LAS VEGAS – Tyron Woodley was very against heading into enemy territory to fight Leon Edwards but ultimately took the fight and will headline UFC on ESPN+ 29 in London.

If Edwards gets the next title shot, which I believe he should, Burns vs. Covington is an obvious fight to make. There's been talk of Covington vs. Masvidal, but that one doesn't seem close to being made. If it's not coming together, this is a good matchup to which to pivot.

UFC Fight Night: Woodley vs. Edwards was a planned mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship originally planned to take place on March 21, 2020, at The O2 Arena in London, England. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was eventually postponed (see section below).

It’s a decision that Woodley’s manager, Abraham Kawa, says the former welterweight champion made because he’s eager to get back in the octagon.

“I think Tyron looked at the landscape, and he said to himself, ‘OK, I got to get back to the mix of things,” Kawa told MMA Junkie. “We forget: Tyron always fought the No. 1 contender every single time … when we’re now living in the day and age of everybody (calling out) the big superstar, we pick and choose who it’s OK for and who it’s not OK for.”

Woodley (19-4-1 MMA, 9-3-1 UFC) has not competed since losing the 170-pound title to Kamaru Usman last March at UFC 235. It will be over a year since he last competed when he faces the streaking Edwards on March 21.

And Kawa thinks that, despite Woodley fighting in Edwards’ home country, he’s clearly the A-side. He hopes Woodley can take a page out of Jorge Masvidal’s book and silence the British fans.

“Tyron ended up with Leon, if that makes any sense,” Kawa said. “Leon, I think has the same problem Kamaru does. People don’t relate; it’s very hard for them to sell a pay-per-view. Great fighters, I take nothing from their skill. I’m not bashing them. I’m saying when Tyron has more fans than that person’s own country … I told Tyron, ‘If you go to London and knock out Leon, you did the same thing Jorge Masvidal did a year ago.’ The only difference is, Masvidal walked in there and took fans from (Darren) Till compared to Tyron going into London and giving fans to Leon.”

Edwards (18-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC) has taken numerous jabs at Woodley, mocking his rap songs and claiming that Woodley was cornered by the UFC to take the fight.

The way Kawa sees it, Woodley is just hungry to remind people of the days he was stopping one contender after the other and defending his title four times.

“He’s is completely and utterly just, ‘I’m going to kill people,'” Kawa said. “That’s where Tyron is right now mentally. He wants to be that killer. He’s going to be that killer, so I don’t think it matters anymore who, where and what. It just doesn’t matter to him anymore. He wants to fight.”

Belal Muhammad vs. Leon Edwards

Saturday, March 13, 2021 – 10:05 PM EST at UFC Apex

Leon Edwards (18-3-0)

Number three ranked UFC welterweight Leon Edwards has been side-lined since 2019, and with an eight-fight win streak, the British bad-boy has been overly eager to get back into the octagon.

The last time Edwards fought, he won a unanimous decision over former titleholder Rafael Dos Anjos, but the near two-year absence has not been the fault of Britain's fastest rising UFC star. He was scheduled to face Tyron Woodley before the coronavirus caused the bout to be cancelled. Following the pandemic restrictions, Edwards has been planned on a further three occasions. Health issues put a stop to the highly-anticipated clash with Khamzat Chimaev.

Born in Jamaica but raised in Birmingham, United Kingdom, Edwards has trained in mixed martial arts since his teenage years and owns a diverse skill set. Without shining in one particular discipline, Edwards has utilised his full MMA background.

Belal Muhammad (18-3-0)

'Remember the Name' is a fitting nickname for Belal Muhammad because it's hard to forget an MMA athlete consistent in his division and on social media. Muhammad has fought on three occasions since we last saw Edwards in the cage; activity is certainly no problem for the rank 13th competitor. In fact, it has been a mere four weeks since we last saw Belal in the octagon. When interviewed by MMA Junkie in 2019, Belal explained what the fight game means to him:

'I am a Palestinian Muslim-American, born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. My family is originally from Al-Bireh, Palestine. I would consider myself to be very family-oriented with a lot of devotion and respect for the sport of MMA. My ultimate goal in my career is to take home the belt as the best welterweight champion in the world, inshallah.'

Accepting this contest (replacing Khamzat Chimaev) on short notice after competing last month is a true testament to Belal's mindset and self-belief, and we should expect the best version of Belal Muhammad next weekend.

Edwards vs. Muhammad Early Prediction and Betting Advice

Stylistically, the fight presented to us involves two competitors with remarkably similar styles. Neither fighter excels in one area; both men possess the skills to grapple or strike. They also have an identical professional MMA record, and both men know what it takes to survive a full fifteen-minute fight.

BookMaker current odds are swaying heavily in favor of Edwards, but his time away from the octagon is worrying. Especially when faced with a veteran decision fighter in Belal.

Seeking the value here is tough, and although I belief Edwards can take another decision victory for his record here, the price isn't tempting at all.

With a twenty-five-minute time limit and two athletes with a slow pace, we should expect this fight to sail over three and a half rounds. The odds are not currently available, so be sure to check back with SBR during the week when they'll be live.
