UFC champion Leon Edwards commits blunder at Soccer Aid

English professional mixed martial artist Leon Edwards was in action at the 2023 Soccer Aid.

Edwards, the reigning Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Welterweight division titleholder, featured for the international team as they recorded a 4-2 win against England at Soccer Aid.

The 31-year-old, known for his striking power that knocked out Nigerian-American MMA star Kamaru Usman, was the goalkeeper for the international team at Soccer Aid.

Edwards took to his official social media platforms to celebrate his participation and the international team's victory.

Along with a photo of the trophy was a message that said, "What a great experience yesterday playing for @socceraid at old Trafford in front Of a sold-out stadium."

England began a second-half comeback at Old Trafford at Soccer Aid due in large part to a mistake by UFC champion Edwards.

If Leon Edwards is anything close to a reliable test subject, goalkeeping coaches won't be employing mixed martial arts as a goalkeeper at Soccer Aid.

The Birmingham native struggled to defend his lines with an open palm despite his skills with a clenched fist.

Actor Asa Butterfield of Sex Education had a misdirected cross go past Edwards, and the clip went viral.

The World XI came back, and Robbie Keane, the all-time leading scorer for the Republic of Ireland, scored twice to give Pochettino's team the lead once again.
