Jorge Masvidal Believes He’s Still World Class, Takes Aim at Leon Edwards Again
During an interview with GiveMeSport, Jorge Masvidal said he’s looking to prove he’s at the top of the heap at welterweight despite inactivity on the MMA side. He even doubled down on challenging former UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards.
“Let’s roll the dice for the No.1 guy in the world. I’ll find out if I am who I say I am. I want to fight the world’s best,” Masvidal told us. “I always have. I’ve been out of the game a little bit. Let’s see what’s possible.
“We’re betting 100% on me. Leon is scared of me, man,” Masvidal added. “He’s never wanted this. Here I am, calling out his name. You ain’t got a fight. I ain’t got a fight. What’s up, mother-f****?!”*
There is well-documented history between “Gamebred” and “Rocky.” Back in March 2019, Masvidal punched Edwards backstage following a UFC London event. The UFC never booked the two in a grudge match despite the bad blood.
Edwards lost the 170-pound gold to Belal Muhammad back in July. There’s no word on what could be next for Edwards, but it’s clear that Masvidal has been pounding the table to fight him.
Leon whoops that ass. Dana make it happen!
