Morning Report: Leon Edwards dismisses ‘planned’ confrontation between Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal

This week is Super Bowl week and both UFC welterweight champion Usman and BMF champion Jorge Masvidal have found themselves taking in the festivities in Miami, FL. And given their close proximity to each other, the two have ratcheted their rivalry up a few notches, seemingly setting the stage for a major title fight between them later this year. But God love Leon Edwards, he’s still doing his best to stay in the mix.

Earlier in the week, Usman and Masvidal had a public altercation at Super Bowl media day, with the two having to be separated after some very public peacocking.
