Leon Edwards believes the likelihood of him being rebooked against Jorge Masvidal is now slim to none.
Edwards was expected to meet Masvidal at UFC 269 in a fight that was enveloped in bad blood. They were finally booked against each other over two years removed from their infamous backstage scuffle at UFC Fight Night: Till vs. Masvidal, which resulted in Edwards being hit with a quick combination from Masvidal, leaving him with a cut under his left eye.
A fight between the two welterweight contenders was all but certain from that moment on, and it almost came to fruition, but an undisclosed injury suffered by Masvidal has led to it being canceled just one month before the final pay-per-view of the year.
