Right after his dominant unanimous decision win against former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos at UFC on ESPN 4, streaking welterweight contender Leon Edwards wasted no time in calling out Jorge Masvidal.
“I’m on an eight-fight winning streak in one of the hardest division’s in the sport,” Edwards said in his post-fight interview. “There’s a little weasel called Jorge Masvidal. Accept the fight and let’s do it. “You’re not on my level. Let’s make the fight happen. Me, Jorge Masvidal. Let’s make the fight happen.”
Masvidal soon got wind of Edwards’ comments and responded via Twitter, blasting Edwards as one of the most boring fighters in the welterweight division.
