Leon Edwards calls Jorge Masvidal “a fake”
In a host of incredible fights towards the end of this year, Leon Edwards vs Jorge Masvidal was one of the fights which stood out the most to MMA fans.
However, that fight will now no longer be happening as Masvidal was forced to pull out of the fight due to an injury which has not been stated yet.
Not only has this disappointed pretty much all MMA fans but it has also disappointed Leon Edwards who was really looking forward to finally being able to get his hands on the man who punched him in the face over two years ago.
Edwards made his thoughts on Masvidal pretty clear in a recent interview. To hear what Edwards had to say, check out the post below.
