UFC referee Marc Goddard has revealed the reason he has requested to never officiate a fight involving MMA star Leon Edwards.
, who will take on Belal Muhammad at UFC 304 in Manchester later in July, will not have Goddard as the referee of his next fight - or any fight, for that matter."I was Leon Edwards ' first coach in MMA. Way, way, way back when, when he was just an amateur.
"We'll just keep it out of the way. I just don't want any hassle. And I don't want to be put in a predicament where I'm making a call that could go against him. So it's both ways." "The reason I requested not to do the fight was because I was thinking about Izzy. I have reffed him since, I have reffed his fight with Sean Strickland.
