UFC’s Leon Edwards fires back at Jorge Masvidal: ‘Stop making excuses and come get this smoke’
Steve Flynn-USA TODAY SportsLeon Edwards has unfinished business with Jorge Masvidal.
Not longer after his impressive decision win over Gunnar Nelson at UFC Fight Night 147, Edwards got into a scuffle with Masvidal backstage at London’s O2 Arena.
After taunting Masvidal during a post-fight interview, Edwards was blasted with a three-punch combination by the former street fighter, with security intervening before he had a chance to fight back.
Yesterday Masvidal, who knocked out Darren Till in the UFC Fight Night 147 main event, ridiculed Edwards on social media, brushing off a potential grudge match with the Brit due to his lower ranking in the welterweight division.
