Jorge Masvidal has ‘insider information,’ will get Leon Edwards title fight before Colby Covington after UFC 287

Jorge Masvidal Leon Edwards Colby Covington UFC UFC 287 Gilbert Burns

Jorge Masvidal warns everyone not to go too crazy about the idea of Colby Covington getting the next title shot against Leon Edwards. At least not yet, anyway.

In the aftermath of Edwards’ (20-3 MMA, 12-2 UFC) trilogy-fight victory over Kamaru Usman at UFC 286 to defend the welterweight title, UFC president Dana White named Covington (17-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) as the No. 1 contender to the belt.

That news didn’t sit well with Edwards, because he first wanted to see how the matchup between Masvidal (35-16 MMA, 12-9 UFC) and Gilbert Burns (21-5 MMA, 14-5 UFC), which takes place April 8 at UFC 287 in Miami, plays out before committing to anything.
