Earlier this week, streaking UFC contender Leon Edwards said welterweight rival Jorge Masvidal turned down the opportunity to fight him.
“The only fight that makes sense now is me and Masvidal, and that’s the fight that I want,” Edwards said in a recent interview with MMA Junkie. “I spoke to the UFC. They want the fight. I want the fight. But Masvidal is turning the fight down. They say he doesn’t want the fight, so I don’t know. I’m just here. I’ll be ready to go at the end of the year and hopefully get one of those fights.
