UFC 263 (Welterweight): #3 Edwards v. Diaz

Who will WIN this FIGHT?

#3 Leon Edwards (ENG)

Nate Diaz (USA)

 

Current odds:

Leon Edwards: (-550)

Nate Diaz: (+400)

 

Diaz looks old, slow and shot, and any moments of success lately have largely come via pure durability. He doesn’t even have great cardio by MMA standards any more, he just has toughness in spades.

Edwards is in some ways a style nightmare (an actual welterweight, a low kicker, a counterpuncher, and perhaps most importantly a very strong wrestler and clinch fighter). However, he’s also someone without massive dynamic threats who always lets his opponent into the fight in one way or another.
