UFC London is just around the corner and with a potential number one contender fight for the Welterweight title at grabs, what a show it should be! UFC Odds are already listed for the event, here's a complete betting guide previewing Leon Edwards and Tyron Woodley, including updated odds and our betting prediction.
Tyron Woodley vs. Leon Edwards
1 day ago All odds as of March 8. Does Edwards Finally Get His Title Shot With a Win? Leon Edwards might have had the worst luck in the UFC when it came to the pandemic. The Brit was supposed to face Tyron Woodley at UFC London last year, but the event was canceled just days prior due to the pandemic. If Edwards gets the next title shot, which I believe he should, Burns vs. Covington is an obvious fight to make. There's been talk of Covington vs. Masvidal, but that one doesn't seem close to being made. If it's not coming together, this is a good matchup to which to pivot.

Opening Line: Leon Edwards -145 at 5Dimes
The UFC is back in the capital of England. On March 21st, 2020, one welterweight fighter could leave as the number one contender; let's take a closer look at the main event in this week's edition of ‘First Look'.
Leon ‘Rocky' Edwards (18-3-0)
The 28-year-old UFC welterweight Leon Edwards has been a rising prospect for the previous six years and this coming weekend will have his chance to prove himself against a former titleholder in Tyron Woodley.
Hailing from Birmingham, England (20 minutes from my City), Edwards would seem to have the English support in his favor, as of the 13th of March 2020, the UFC has announced the UFC London to go ahead with a live attending audience through the current COVID-19 pandemic. Of course, these details could change overnight but we'll take into consideration that as of now, Edwards will have the crowd's support.
It was a surprise that Woodley would take on a fight in England, with so much at risk in comparison to Edwards. Edwards is riding an 8-fight win streak in the UFC welterweight division, which is an accomplishment in itself. He's defeated the likes of Rafael Dos Anjos, Gunnar Nelson, and Donald Cerrone & Vicente Luque.
Edwards, the former British MMA promotion BAMMA's former Welterweight champion, will be right in the title contention talks if he were able to take-out Tyron Woodley. Although he's fought some experienced talent, he'll need to bring his A-game in London.
Edwards must feel untouchable right now, the momentum is swinging his way and an 8-fight win streak isn't too shabby either. Perhaps we'll see the first British welterweight champion sooner than we expected as Edwards continues to prove his doubters wrong in each matchup.

Tyron ‘The Chosen One' Woodley (28-8-0)
The former Welterweight champion Tyron Woodley surprised fans when he accepted this bout with Leon Edwards, especially in Edwards's back yard and notably on quite a run. Only one man has it all to lose, as Edwards is still young and rising. Edwards also holds a certain unknown to his name, his placid personality and 'boring' decision fights haven't quite grabbed the same attention as his peers, Woodley is for sure putting more on the line in London.
Born and raised in Ferguson, Missouri, ‘The Chosen One' would find martial arts quite naturally as he was destined for combat sports boasting his NCAA division 1 wrestling title. The two-time all American has brought elite-level wrestling offense to the UFC octagon since 2013 after dominating the Strikeforce circuit for many years prior.
During his come-up, Woodley earned himself a UFC welterweight title shot in 2016 against Robbie Lawler. An instant classic was put on display; Woodley became champion with a vicious knockout early in the fight. His title reign would survive three years! Stephen Thompson (x2), Demian Maia and Darren Till all failed at challenging Woodley for the strap.
The former champion lost his title to Kamaru Usman, where he just didn't seem to open up. The version of Woodley we saw against Lawler was a different animal. With time off and time to mentally heal I think Woodley remains as one of the most dangerous fighters in the division.

UFC Fight Night 171: Woodley vs. Edwards Prediction & Betting Pick
The main event presents us with such an intriguing contest but also confusing, Woodley didn't have to take a fight with a guy so far below him in the rankings, if Edwards loses to the former champion it won't affect/tarnish his career what so ever.
How can Edwards win the fight?
Edwards should be studying the blueprint of Kamaru Usman (who defeated Woodley), keep Woodley pressured against the fence and keep the strike count high. Draining Woodley's cardio by not allowing him to dictate the pace will be important for Edwards, and with the history of English judges making decisions at English events, a well-fought 25 minutes for Edwards might be all he needs to get the win.
Get inside the range and back out as fast as possible, Edwards will hold a significant speed advantage which he should be looking to take advantage of. Defending Woodley's wrestling offense with some clinch work might be his best choice, Edwards has some dangerous dirty boxing, inside elbows and strikes when on the break from a clinch.
So long as Edwards can keep Woodley working and his striking output high, he should be able to secure a close decision victory.
How can Woodley win the fight?
Woodley will need to fight this fight at his range, finding his distance as soon as possible will be imperative in avoiding the kickboxing game of Edwards. More importantly, Woodley's wrestling will be his biggest strength.
Woodley is a former NCAA Div 1 wrestling champion, Edwards hasn't been scared of initiating a grappling exchange in a lot of his fights which would be his downfall to replicate the same strategy against Woodley.
Woodley should make this a wrestling match until he finds himself in a dominant top position and able to land some ground and pound strikes.
Who will win the fight?
An amazing fight we're working with, but also incredibly difficult to pick a winner. Edwards will have the age, height/reach advantage and potentially a home crowd behind him. On the other side, Woodley is the former champion and should have fight IQ light-years ahead of Edwards.
I'll probably continue to change my mind throughout the week, so take it with a pinch of salt. But right now, I think Tyron Woodley can defeat Edwards by decision if he doesn't end it on the ground. There's a potential risk as I do think the fight will be close, and English judges could have something to say, so either way, keep your stakes sensible for this amazing main event matchup.

Tyron Woodley and Leon Edwards fight Saturday during UFC Fight Night 171 at The O2 Arena.
Tyron Woodley enters this fight with a 19-4-1 record and has won 37 percent of his fights by knockout. Woodley has won six of his last eight fights and is coming off a March (2019) loss to Kamaru Usman. Woodley is averaging 2.64 significant strikes per minute with an accuracy percentage of 47 percent. Woodley is averaging 0.44 takedowns with an accuracy percentage of 38 percent. It's been a while since we've seen Woodley in the octagon, and he was absolutely dominated in his last fight. Maybe the time off was good for Woodley, as it allowed him to clear his head, and he now looks to avoid back-to-back losses for the first time in his career. Even with the poor performance, there's no question Woodley is one of the more balanced welterweights in the history of the sport. Woodley has a nasty standup game with extreme power in his hands and violent leg kicks that do serious damage on the feet. Woodley also has a background in wrestling, and while he hasn't gone for a ton of takedowns under the UFC banner, he's quite effective when he shoots and has an impressive ground and pound if a fight goes to the canvas. Woodley is smart, solid defensively and should be eager to redeem himself and possibly build enough hype to create an eventual rematch with Usman. This will be Woodley's first career fight in England.

Woodley Vs Edwards Odds Today
Leon Edwards enters this fight with a 18-3 record and has won 47 percent of his fights by decision. Edwards has won each of his last eight fights and is coming off a July win over Rafael dos Anjos. Edwards is averaging 2.35 significant strikes per minute with an accuracy percentage of 49 percent. Edwards is averaging 1.33 takedowns with an accuracy percentage of 31 percent. Edwards is coming off a dominating performance at UFC on ESPN 4 where he controlled all five rounds and really kind of put himself on the map to fans who weren't quite sure he was this good. Edwards still hasn't lost since his 2015 bout against Kamaru Usman, and he's proving he's truly one of the best in this division. Edwards entered the UFC as a powerful striker, but it's his heavy wrestling approach that's helped him string together all of these victories. Edwards has fought well in the clinch and is doing a much better job of making the fighter uncomfortable, as it's no longer a brawl type feel where they both can trade strikes. Edwards is controlling the fight from start to finish and his confidence is rising each time he takes the octagon. Edwards is a crafty southpaw who can be tricky for his opponents. This will be Edwards' 14th career fight in England, his birthplace.
Getting Woodley at this price is really tough to turn down, as he's still on of the best welterweights in the world regardless of how he looked his last time out. The problem is Edwards is on such a roll and looked so dominant in his last fight, that it's hard to step in front of him right now, especially when he's fighting in the comfort zone of his own country. Edwards can strike with Woodley standing up, but he can also back the American up against the cage and just wear on him while landing elbows and knees. Edwards is a hot fighter who is on a mission to become a household name, and he's getting far more confident in his plan of attack rather than head hunting with power shots.
Edwards wins his ninth straight fight.
