With Jorge Masvidal targeting a December return, Leon Edwards is happy to step up and answer that call. In a recent Q&A on his Twitter , Masvidal (35-15 MMA, 12-8 UFC) said he’s looking to return against anyone who gets him closer to the title and the streaking Edwards is happy to oblige. Edwards (19-3 MMA, 11-2 UFC) has made it clear that after their backstage altercation at UFC London, which resulted in Masvidal striking him with the infamous “three piece and a soda,” they absolutely need to settle the score – and the December timeframe works for him, too. “ I’ll be ready in November or December. Stop with the excuses #backinblood” I’ll be ready in November or December. Stop with the excuses #backinblood https://t.co/JVcFyQihZu — Leon 'Rocky' Edwards (@Leon_edwardsmma) July 30, 2021 Masvidal is coming off back-to-back title losses to UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman, but remains one of the sport’s biggest stars.
