'Is This Even A Question' - Derek Brunson Claims To Have A Better Physique Than Leon Edwards, Fans Weigh In

Originally posted on MMA News | By Kyle Dimond | Last updated 12/20/23

Following the final UFC card of the year this past weekend, a big question was asked to MMA fans on social media.

Leon Edwards claimed after his win over Colby Covington that people underestimate his strength...and that's not only the time he brought up his body on fight week.

"Rocky" also believes he has the most aesthetic physique of anyone in the UFC.

He told the media during fight week that he has the perfect proportions to his body which puts him as the front runner in this category.

“I think it’s the good waist. The ratio from the waist, to the shoulders, to the back, to the legs, to the d*** is just perfect.”

MMA Uncensored on X looked to gauge the public's vote by comparing Edwards with another man who recently received praise for his physique, Derek Brunson.

The former UFC and current PFL fighter replied to the post putting him up against Edwards, stating that he believes he should win hands down considering the age gap between them.
