Leon Edwards Offers McGregor Shot at Three-Division Title
UFC champ Leon Edwards has proposed a history-making title fight for Conor McGregor at Madison Square Garden. McGregor made history in 2016 by becoming the first UFC champion to hold two-division belts simultaneously.
McGregor's Chance at Three-Weight Ruler
McGregor added the 155lb lightweight strap to his 145lb featherweight belt at MSG, but no one has ever been a three-weight ruler. Edwards, set to defend his welterweight title, is willing to give McGregor a shot at this unprecedented achievement.
Setting the Stage for a Super-Fight
Edwards, who faces Belal Muhammad in July, expressed his readiness to face McGregor for a potential super-fight. McGregor returns after three years to fight Michael Chandler in June, while Edwards defends his gold against Muhammad a month later.
Edwards believes both he and McGregor will emerge victorious in their upcoming fights, paving the way for a highly anticipated showdown at Madison Square Garden.
