UFC Welterweight Competier Joaquin Buckley criticized the Leon Edwards team after UFC London.
Former UFC title holder Leon Edwards suffered for the first time in his career after UFC London at the jaws of defeat in successive fights. After an encouraging start against Sean Brady, Edwards was smothered in round 4, which led to a guillotine reinforcement that insured Brady's victory.
It was again a disappointing setback for Edwards after he had fallen to Belal Muhammad on UFC 304 last July. Before that he successfully defended the Welterweight title against Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington.
Edwards Corner, and especially his old coach Dave Lovell, were big players in his rise of the UFC -Weltergegewain title. But after back-to-back setbacks, a top candidate believes that Edwards's corner has abandoned him at UFC London.

Leon Edwards's Corner 'Trashed' by Joaquin Buckley Na UFC London
Lovell shot infamous on Edwards when he prepared for round 5 of his Come-From-Behind Knockout victory on Usman on UFC 278. After he entered the last round on the scor cards of the jury members, and with about a minute left in the Headsman's Headwards, landed a Head-Stapsh land
A visibly depressed Edwards that comes in around 5 may not have been able to collect to beat Usman without his fired corner behind him. But when Joaquin Buckley saw how Edwards falls short in UFC London, Buckley believes that there were too many votes between rounds that made it overwhelming for Edwards to get the advice he needed.
In a recent message to X Schold Buckley the corner of Edwards out after UFC London.
“Leon Corner is waste for many people who talk and don't say – important,” Buckley posted.
Buckley is a rising wonderful weight candidate who may be against Brady after UFC London. Muhammad and Jack della Maddalena will be released in May for the title in the UFC 315 headliner.
Michael Bisping shared a potential next opponent for Leon Edwards na UFC London
In terms of what the next step is for Edwards after UFC London, Michael Bisping presented an intriguing option for his next opponent to return to the Welterweight title mix. Edwards and Ian Machado Garry were previously in their career teammates, and with Garry not currently booked, he could be useful for the next fight by Edwards.
Garry has not fought in December since a loss for Shavkat Rakhmonov on UFC 310. Before that he was unbeaten in his professional career with recent victories over Michael 'Venom' page and Geoff Neal.
But the bad blood between Edwards and Brady did not leave after UFC London. Brady has repeatedly mocked Edwards on social media since the fight, including his imitation of Edwards 'Headshot Dead' name.
The defeat of Edwards was not the only surprise head of UFC London. Molly McCann withdrew after a loss for Alexia Thainara, for the heartache of old teammate Paddy Pimblett.
As far as Edwards, he has several things to consider after another disappointing performance in the Octagon, including a potential corner shaker.
