To secure victory,‌ Leon‌ Edwards⁤ must lean into his precision-based ‍striking while maintaining a calculated approach to disrupt his opponent’s rhythm. ⁤ Distance⁢ control is⁤ key for Edwards, allowing‍ him​ to stay within range ⁢for ⁣his ‌counters while avoiding risky exchanges. Utilizing ⁣quick feints and‍ level‌ changes can draw out mistakes from his​ opponent, setting up opportunities for ‌his‌ lethal head⁣ kicks‌ or sharp jab ⁢combinations. Additionally, lateral movement will be critical—circling away from the power hand can neutralize potential damage while frustrating⁤ his ​adversary’s ⁤timing.

  • Effective​ leg kicks ‌ to⁣ slow the ⁢opponent’s ‍footwork and ​mobility.
  • Clinch‌ control to​ wear down ‍the⁤ opponent⁣ and accumulate short strikes.
  • Selective wrestling to‍ mix​ up pacing and ⁢score⁣ valuable⁢ points⁢ if needed.

Edwards must also ⁣prioritize defensive ‍awareness in grappling ⁣and scrambles, especially against an‍ opponent who​ thrives on positional control. Staying active off ⁢his back—if​ taken down—is​ vital to avoid prolonged ground time. ‍A solid plan includes ​timely‍ underhooks,⁤ wall-walking along the fence, ‍and‍ exploiting transitions to ⁢regain dominant ‍positions.‍ Below is a⁤ glimpse ⁢of Edwards’ ‍most effective techniques in recent fights:
