Pros react to wild backstage altercation between Jorge Masvidal, Leon Edwards at UFC London

Just minutes after knocking out Darren Till in highlight-reel fashion in the main event of Saturday’s card, Masvidal took on another Englishman when he paused his own post-fight interview to throw punches at Leon Edwards backstage at The O2 Arena. The wild scene reportedly left Edwards with a cut and resulted in both men leaving the arena without speaking to the media following their respective UFC London wins. Check out how the MMA world reacted to Masvidal’s extra-curricular activities with Edwards below.
