10 UFC Stars Who Deserve Your Attention In 2020
6. Leon Edwards
Welterweight is yet another division which currently possesses its fair share of star-power.
Jorge Masvidal, Kamaru Usman, Colby Covington, Tyron Woodley, Stephen Thompson, Nate Diaz, Donald Cerrone and now Conor McGregor all call the weight-class home. So, trying to steal a bit of that attention is going to be a difficult task for anyone.
Difficult, but not impossible and if any fighter is up to the challenge of elbowing his way into that illustrious mix, it's Birmingham's Leon 'Rocky' Edwards.
Boasting a confident ground game - equipped with a multitude of vicious chokes - and an equally devastating array of deadly knees, kicks and relentless punching combinations, Edwards sits as one of the most complete competitors in that division.
With important decision victories over Cerrone, Rafael dos Anjos and Vicente Luque under his belt, Edwards now needs to start adding a few more of those deadly finishes he became known for during his time in BAMMA to his UFC CV.
We'll next see him taking on former UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley at UFC Fight Night 171 in London, so could this be Edwards' moment to steal the spotlight? If he manages to outwrestle, submit or knockout a competitor of 'The Chosen One's calibre, Edwards will almost certainly have the fans and Dana White's undivided attention.
