The welterweight division in the UFC is full of beef and most of them involve Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal. Leon Edwards has had his issues with Masvidal dating back to UFC London in 2019.
Leon Edwards recently spoke to ESPN and gave his reaction to the UFC 272 fight between Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington. The Englishman did not hold back when giving his opinion about the fight.
“Masvidal came out and tried his best for like two, three minutes, and if it doesn’t go his way he’s gonna settle into losing and that’s exactly what he did. He always does it. If he doesn’t get success in the first two to three minutes, he’ll settle into a pattern where he’ll just coast through a fight to lose.
“He had a good year [2019] and just got to ride that wave. It is what it is, the UFC welterweight said.”
There is unfinished business between Leon Edwards and Jorge Masvidal. They were supposed to fight at UFC 269 but the fight had to be scrapped after Masvidal pulled out.
“I think my career is going like this [up] and his is going like that [down]. He’s on like, what, a three fight losing streak now I think? I don’t know. I might win the belt and be like you know what, let me defend it against Jorge. That would be a big PPV and I’d just spank him there. We’ll see.”
“It looked like he was there for the payday, Masvidal,” the UFC fighter concluded.
