Like, hell no,” Masvidal, who sucker-punched Edwards backstage at London’s O2 Arena in 2019, said . “I’ll get my ass in shape and get ready for this f*ckin’ hooligan, and give it all I’ve got to break his face… It’s a lot of tangibles, a lot of things that could happen. I could be getting myself ready for number 10 of the world and all of a sudden fighting for a world championship.”

“Remember, I’m Jorge Masvidal,” he added. “I’m the same guy who took that world championship fight on six days’ notice in the middle of the corona pandemic, flew all the way across the world to throw down in that fight,” added Masvidal. “I’m gonna go with the best option all the time.”

Edwards, meanwhile, has also gone unbeaten since that first meeting in 2015 with a 9-0-1 mark.
