— ESPN MMA (@espnmma) March 16, 2019After vanquishing Gunnar Nelson at UFC London, Leon Edwards said he wanted to face the winner of Saturday’s main event. He probably didn’t realize it would happen so soon.
While Jorge Masvidal was conducting a post-fight interview backstage at the O2 Arena when he saw Edwards and the two welterweights began exchanging words. Masvidal then left the ESPN interview set to confront Edwards.
