Sound the alarm! Leon Edwards’ UFC London media day goes off the rails

LONDON – There’s no way Leon Edwards saw coming what happened during his UFC Fight Night 255 media day session on Thursday.

While Edwards was in the middle of speaking with reporters at the host hotel, the former UFC welterweight champion was abruptly interrupted by a fire alarm that immediately startled him. Thankfully, the alarm didn’t turn out to be anything serious. It was just annoying and very loud and lasted for a few minutes.

Edwards took the situation in stride and even joked, “I feel like Belal did that,” pointing to former foe and current champ Belal Muhammad as the culprit lol.
