Leon Edwards still wants a massive world title defence against Jorge Masvidal - but has told his long-time rival that he needs to get a few wins on the board first.
When the feud between Masvidal and Edwards started with a physical altercation at UFC London in March 2019, it was the former who had all the power. He was rising quickly to the top of the division and, just weeks after viciously stopping Darren Till at the O2 Arena, he became a household name with a six-second knockout of Ben Askren.
Meanwhile, Edwards got just one fight in over the next two years against Rafael Dos Anjos before finally getting back out last year against Belal Muhammad and Nate Diaz. But the tables have since turned completely, with Masvidal losing three times on the bounce, including a brutal stoppage from Usman and an embarrassing decision loss to bitter foe Colby Covington.
