Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad engaged in a heated staredown ahead of their main event clash at UFC Vegas 21 and much more — Fightful has the latest ahead of UFC Vegas 21 and more MMA news from social media.
Leon Edwards warns Belal Muhammad
Leon Edwards is usually not one for trash talk but after he and his opponent Belal Muhammad weighed in successfully, they engaged in an intense staredown. Some have questioned if Muhammad was, in fact, the one who made the quip but my money based on this clip below is Edwards was indeed the culprit.
After watching this it’s clear to see why Jorge Masvidal busted Leon up backstage. https://t.co/iTJaL01bGe

Is this the best post-win celebration dance ever?
Post-win celebrations have taken many forms in MMA. Derrick Lewis slams his hands on the mat and stares at his downed opponent, Justin Gaethje does a backflip off the cage, and Valerie Loureda twerks in Bellator to name a few. Now a clip has come out out of Marcelo Rojo, who makes his UFC debut at UFC Vegas 21 against Charles Jourdain, doing a great t-rex dance after a win. Will we see the t-rex Saturday?
