UFC champion Leon Edwards has insisted a fight against Conor McGregor would be "easy" to make because the pair share the same management team.
Edwards, 31, is hoping to defend his welterweight title in the first quarter of next year after winning the belt with a last-gasp knockout against Kamaru Usman in August. 'Rocky' became the first Jamaican-born and second British champion in UFC history by knocking out Usman, who was undefeated in 20 fights heading into his sixth title defence. The win meant Edwards avenged his 2015 loss to Usman as it sets up a likely trilogy fight between the pair.
Former two-weight champion McGregor recently outlined his plans to make a return at welterweight next year, but he will unlikely be fighting for a title in his return as Edwards has insisted the Irishman isn't on his radar. The Brit, who wants to defend his belt against Usman at Wembley Stadium in March, did admit that a potential fight against McGregor would be easy to make as the pair are both managed by Paradigm Sports.
