UFC welterweight Leon Edwards calls out ‘midget’ Rafael dos Anjos

The usually soft-spoken Leon Edwards is on a mission for UFC gold, and the streaking welterweight contender doesn’t care who he offends along the way.

Despite rattling off seven straight wins from 2016-present, Edwards still finds himself ranked outside of the top ten and the 27-year-old is just about sick of being overlooked by the UFC.

Edwards vented his frustrations on social media, demanding his next bout be against a top-five opponent and calling former UFC lightweight titleholder Rafael dos Anjos a ‘midget.’

“My next fight should be against anyone in the top 5 and after beating them I’ll win the UFC world title,” Edwards tweeted on Friday.
