Jorge Masvidal And Leon Edwards Brawl Backstage After UFC London (Video)
Leon Edwards and Jorge Masvidal both earned huge wins at UFC London, but ended up scrapping again before the night was over — with each other.
After Masvidal’s big knockout win over Darren Till in the main event of the show, he was being interviewed by ESPN’s Laura Sanko. Co-main event winner Leon Edwards shouted from across a room, causing Masvidal to go after him. Fists would then fly.
You can see the exchange below.

The quick battle was broken up while it conjured a “wow” out of future UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping on the ESPN broadcast, and several fighters commented as well.

Edwards earned a huge win of his own, beating out Gunnar Nelson in the co-main event.
Dana White would comment to ESPN’s Brett Okamoto on the matter.
Comment from Dana White on the Masvidal, Edwards scuffle: I can’t even believe that this happened. We(UFC) need to do a much better job of making sure this shit doesn’t happen at any of our events!!!!
