Leon Edwards was famously the victim of Jorge Masvidal's ‘three-piece and a soda' back in March 2019. The two UFC welterweights have talked about fighting each other for years but it never seemed likely.

Currently, Leon Edwards is set to face Kamaru Usman for the UFC welterweight title whilst Jorge Masvidal has an uncertain future at welterweight. Edwards may be in the title picture but he still wants a shot at Masvidal.

“I thought, you know pussy,” UFC welterweight Edwards told Ariel Helwani during a recent appearance on The MMA Hour (h/t Low Kick MMA). “I had a feeling he’d have done it, you know. I don’t think he wants to fight, and I’ve always said that he doesn’t want to fight me. Lastly, I would’ve loved for that fight to have happened.”

“I’ll give him the title shot, that’d be a fantastic fight in the UK. Bring it back to the O2 where it happened, for the title. That’s the one to do next, that’s the best,” the UFC star added.

“If that happens in the UK, sure. Like I said my dream scenario would be to bring it back to London and to headline London. So I want to come back home and then do it, so yeah.”

It doesn't seem likely that Jorge Masvidal would get the next title shot at welterweight considering some of his recent losses against names like Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington. It will have to be seen what happens with Leon Edwards when he finally fights for the UFC welterweight title.
