Leon Edwards vs. Gilbert Burns: The Preferred Matchup for Edwards' Coach

Leon Edwards' coach, Dave Lovell, expressed a preference for a fight against Gilbert Burns over Belal Muhammad as the next challenger for the UFC welterweight title. Lovell believes Burns brings more to the table and highlights Edwards' previous dominance over Muhammad before their no-contest due to an eye poke. While Belal Muhammad is deserving of a title shot, Lovell feels Burns should have a couple more wins before being considered a contender. UFC CEO Dana White has not confirmed Muhammad as the next challenger, leaving Lovell uncertain about the opponent. The UFC has contacted Edwards' team about a possible return bout in April at UFC 300, which Lovell believes would be a good timeline for Edwards.
