Jorge Masvidal calls Leon Edward’s bluff, says ‘he doesn’t want the fight’ despite talks of revenge

Jorge Masvidal doesn’t believe Leon Edwards actually wants to fight him despite the latter’s talk of revenge in the media.

‘Gamebred’ feels ‘Rocky’s’ comments about wanting to fight him ‘in the street’ are just a desperate way for the newly-crowned welterweight champion to generate some publicity and attention ahead of his first title defense.

The UFC BMF champ and two-time welterweight title challenger called Edward’s bluff during a recent interview with MMA Junkie, claiming the Jamaican-born Brit is all bark and no bite.

“That’s called blah, blah, blah,” Masvidal, who sucker-punched Edwards in 2019, told MMA Junkie in Spanish.
