Jorge Masvidal is quite clearly not interested in a fight with Leon Edwards after UFC on ESPN 4. Following his impressive unanimous-decision win over former champ Rafael dos Anjos on Saturday at AT&T Center in San Antonio, Edwards (18-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC) called out Masvidal (34-13 MMA, 11-6 UFC) in a beef that started with with Masvidal’s “three-piece and a soda” in March after they both won on at UFC London. Masvidal is coming off his historic five-second knockout of Ben Askren at UFC 239 this month, and he made it clear Edwards’ five-round performance against dos Anjos did not impress him (via Twitter ): Big difference between putting top ranked opponents to sleep and putting fans to sleep #bum #whoru Although Edwards has put together a solid eight-fight winning streak that includes dos Anjos, Gunnar Nelson and Donald Cerrone, it’s obvious that Masvidal is searching for something bigger. Since UFC 239, Masvidal and his team have pushed for a matchup with Conor McGregor or a title shot at 170 pounds. UFC president Dana White has already shut down the former , so now it’s a matter of whether “Gamebred” will get champion Kamaru Usman next, or if the winner of next month’s Colby Covington vs. Robbie Lawler fight will challenge instead
