After beating Bryan Barberena at UFC Fight Night 115, Leon Edwards called for a fight with Donald Cerrone. Edwards spoke at the post-fight press conference (via MMAjunkie) about his win and more. Highlights are below:

On wanting to fight in the USA: “I’ve never lost in Europe, and I enjoy fighting here, but I think it’s time for the American fans now to go out there and really appreciate my work. So, my next fight should be on a big card in Vegas or somewhere in the U.S.”

On wanting to fight Cerrone: “(I called him out) after I fought the last time. It would be a good contest, me and him. I want to keep moving up. I’m 26 years old now. I want to keep moving up the rankings and hopefully get top 15, top 10 next. I’m on a four-fight win streak now, so that should be guaranteed.”

On his performance: “I thought I had Round 1 and Round 3, so I wasn’t very nervous (about the decision). I knew I had the victory, so it was good.”
