The highly anticipated grudge match between Jorge Masvidal and Leon Edwards will have to wait. On Wednesday, UFC chief business officer Hunter Campbell announced Masvidal’s withdrawal from UFC 269 through broadcast partner ESPN and cited an undisclosed injury as the reason for the change to the Dec. 11 event. An additional person with knowledge of the situation confirmed the withdrawal to MMA Junkie on Wednesday but asked to remain anonymous. With Masvidal (35-15 MMA, 12-8 UFC) out, it’s unclear whether or not Edwards (19-3 MMA, 11-2 UFC) will remain on the card against a different opponent or be removed. Masvidal, 36, looked to rebound from two title opportunity losses against Kamaru Usman at UFC 251 and UFC 261.
