With his win over Rafael dos Anjos on Saturday, Leon Edwards now holds the second longest-winning streak in the crowded welterweight division.
Eight straight victories for Edwards puts him behind only current UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman (10) and after taking a unanimous nod over dos Anjos in the UFC on ESPN 4 main event Saturday, the 27-year-old Englishman called for a fight with rival Jorge Masvidal.
Edwards and Masvidal have a history dating back to a backstage scuffle at UFC London (the viral “three-piece and a soda” incident) in March and they’ve been at odds ever since.
