It doesn’t look like Leon Edwards will be fighting for the welterweight title anytime soon, as UFC president Dana White would like to see ‘Rocky’ return to the cage against Jorge Masvidal to earn his shot against the winner of Usman vs. Covington 2.
Edwards is fresh off a unanimous decision victory over Nate Diaz and is riding a ten-fight win streak, but White doesn’t think it would be a good idea for the Brit to stay put after him barely surviving the fifth round against Diaz at UFC 263.
“It’s never a good idea to sit around and wait,” White told MMA Junkie in a recent interview.
