Neil Magny won’t be surprised if Jorge Masvidal ends up fighting for the UFC welterweight title next. Champion Leon Edwards (20-3 MMA, 12-2 UFC ) is expected to meet Kamaru Usman in a trilogy, but the bout has yet to be confirmed, raising speculation about whether Usman might be injured. If Usman is not ready, Magny sees Masvidal (35-16 MMA, 12-9 UFC) as the UFC’s next choice, despite being on a three-fight losing skid. Although Magny meets Gilbert Burns on Jan. 21 at UFC 283, it was Masvidal who was first linked to a bout with Burns before “Durinho” decided to move on.
