Jorge Masvidal and Leon Edwards were both big winners at UFC London on Saturday night. And then the two welterweight contenders came to blows backstage afterward.
Edwards jawed at Masvidal behind the camera while Masvidal was doing a television interview with ESPN’s Laura Sanko. Masvidal left the interview, walked over to Edwards, the two exchanged words and Masvidal landed punches on him before they could be separated. The entire incident was captured by ESPN cameras.
Sanko reported later on ESPN+ that Edwards was cut by Masvidal’s punches and needed medical treatment.
