Leon Edwards has claimed rival Jorge Masvidal will have to "get on his knees and beg" if he wants a shot at his UFC title.
Edwards recently recorded a sensational KO victory over Kamaru Usman earlier this year to become UFC welterweight champion for the first time in his career. The British star was awarded the title shot by the Nigerian champion and capitalised in the final round, which will now see him subject to a host of challenges at 170lb.
One of those is expected to be 170lb superstar Masvidal who Edwards was set to meet last year before his potential opponent was forced to withdraw with an undisclosed injury. The pair have been going back and forth over an octagon meeting ever since the fight's previous collapse, and the stakes will now be higher than ever with the title belt held by Edwards.
