Leon Edwards is in search of a new opponent for the scheduled January 20 event and seemingly wants to know if Jorge Masvidal is interested.
It seems Leon Edwards’ period to endure misfortunes isn’t over yet. The fighter has had a rough 2020, and just when it started to look bright, his scheduled bout against Khamzat Chimaev got scrapped from the January 20 card.
The Fighter tough is eager to compete at the event and has enquired about the whereabouts of Jorge Masvidal.
There was a particular stretch in 2020 when Rocky went on a call-out spree and during the time Leon via Twitter tried to draw the attention of Gamebred a number of times. Now, on Tuesday he appeared again exhibited his interest in facing Masvidal.
However, each time no answer came from the other end, and this time as well the Miami native remained quiet. But if not from Jorge, Leon did get a response from his representative, though not a meaningful one.
Ibrahim Kawa, who is a manager of Jorge Masvidal apparently wasn’t amused with Edwards’ post, so threw a comment on the same sort.

Leon Edwards and Jorge Masvidal have engaged in a physical scuffle before. In 2019, at UFC Fight Night 147, both Masvidal and Edwards were part of the feature fights of the night, and after winning their contests the two Welterweights got into a brief brawl. The backstage combat left Edwards bloodied.
So, while they already have experience in throwing punches at each other, it is just a matter of time when they do the same at the place (Octagon) where there won’t be anybody stopping them from inflicting pain on each other.
