Jorge Masvidal open to future matchup with Leon Edwards: ‘Win a fight and I’ll be here’

Jorge Masvidal hasn’t closed the door on a fight with Leon Edwards but he does have two conditions: Edwards needs to get another win, and the money has to be right.

As of now, “Gamebred” and “Rocky” already have full dance cards as Masvidal is set to once again challenge Kamaru Usman for the welterweight title in the main event of UFC 261 on April 24. Edwards, meanwhile, will meet Nate Diaz less than a month later in a five-round co-main event at UFC 262.

In Edwards’ most recent appearance, he faced Belal Muhammad in the main event of UFC Vegas 21 in March—his first fight in nearly two years—and landed an accidental eye poke that led to bout being ruled a no contest.
