SAN ANTONIO – Leon Edwards plans to outclass Rafael dos Anjos at UFC on ESPN 4. And if that happens, Edwards said either a grudge match with Jorge Masvidal or a title shot against Kamaru Usman has to be next. Edwards (17-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC) brings a seven-fight winning streak into Saturday’s headliner with former UFC lightweight champ dos Anjos (29-11 MMA, 18-9 UFC). The British welterweight contender has been nothing but successful over the past few years, and he sees his next fight as the one that will elevate him over the hump. Although Edwards thought his streak, and past two wins in particular against Donald Cerrone and Gunnar Nelson, should have earned him a title shot or title eliminator, he sees the upside in the matchup with dos Anjos
