Leon Edwards has seen it all before.

The former UFC welterweight champion takes his first steps back towards goal on Saturday night in his home country when he takes on the 17-1 grappling expert Sean Brady in the UFC London main event from inside The O2 Arena — and while Brady’s robust Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu arsenal has proved too much for practically everyone he has shared a cage with over the course of the past decade or more, Edwards says that his past battles have given him the necessary steel to overcome the challenge.

“It’s a style I’m used to so I’m comfortable with it,” Edwards told reporters, including The Mac Life, in the English capital on Thursday.

“It all depends how you look at it. I look at it like it’s a great fight to prepare me for what’s next if Belal wins [against JDM]. If not, it’s a great style to keep level. It’s all about how you see things. You can take it as a negative like, ‘oh you keep fighting grapplers.'”

Edwards run to the title saw him take on one of the division’s most feared wrestlers in Kamaru Usman, defeating the former champion twice — first to claim the title and then to defend it. He would subsequently defend against another wrestler in Colby Covington before coming up short against Belal Muhammad in Manchester last summer.

And ‘Rocky’ says that fighters may have a grappling advantage over him don’t add any extra layers of danger to the contest.

“But if you truly believe you’re the best you should be able to fight any of these guys whether it’s a grappler, a striker, jiu-jitsu, karate, taekwondo,” he said.

“Why does it matter what the style is? You’re going to fight them one day anyway because that’s your job. Your goal is to be champion so eventually you’re going to fight these people so it doesn’t matter if it’s today or fight next or two fights. Eventually if he keep winning and I keep winning we’re going to fight each other.

“It’s all how you look at it. I don’t see it like you guys see it.”
