In the wake of the recent retirement of former welterweight title challenger, Jorge Masvidal, current division kingpin, Leon Edwards admits he regrets missing the opportunity to face his bitter rival under the banner of the UFC.
Edwards, the current undisputed welterweight champion, most recently headlined UFC 286 back in March of this year, successfully defending his crown in a close, majority decision win over common-foe, Kamaru Usman.
Winning the undisputed welterweight title back in August of last year in a stunning knockout win at UFC 278, Edwards rallied with a fifth round stoppage of Usman – flattening the Auchi native with a stunning final round high-kick KO.
