Leon Edwards has done a complete 180 degree turn on Jorge Masvidal, telling BT Sport’s’ John Gooden that he is no longer interested in that matchup because ‘Gamebred’ is yesterday’s news.
Masvidal is looking to return to the octagon against a top-five opponent following his knockout loss to Kamaru Usman at UFC 261 but Edwards, who recently beat Nate Diaz at UFC 263, isn’t willing to play ball, telling the ‘BMF’ champ that he missed his opportunity following their backstage altercation in London back in 2019.
Edwards is currently on a nine-fight win streak and is willing to wait for a title shot against the winner of the upcoming title rematch between Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington.
