Jorge Masvidal is out of his scheduled grudge match with Brit, Leon Edwards at UFC 269 on December 11th. ESPN’s Brett Okamoto announced via his Instagram that Masvidal has an undisclosed injury and therefore cannot make the bout.
Okamoto also stated that as of yet, it’s unclear whether the UFC will attempt to re-book the Edwards grudge match or replace Masvidal with a new opponent. The fight was two years in the making after the two men shared a card in London and after the exciting night of fights, Masvidal attacked Edwards after Edwards approached him as he was being interviewed.
