Media Leon Edwards admittedly rooting for Jorge Masvidal

[Unheralded Truth]

Is it OK for the champion to fish after an easier title defense in your opinion?
Jorge has been ducking Gilbert since 2019 or something, so now the plan couldn't be put into action.

What would you have said though if Mas got a lucky decision over Burns and "earned" a TS?

Leon seems like a nice guy even when he is calling Mas a loser without making it sound offensive

That fight needs to happen

i don't know how i make of leon, masvidal is one of the he can for sure win fights
but i don't see him beating khamzat or colby at all
who was winning before the eyepoke between edwards and belal?

 

[Superman Elbow]

He knows it will sell because of the history there plus the fight favors him, he is being a business man by wanting a higher reward/lower risk fight compared to the opposite.

I mean, Leon is so confident he'd beat Jorge he thinks he could fight him in March then get Usman a few months later.

So, not necessarily about ducking Usman in favor of easier fights. It's more that Jorge is a name and Leon wants revenge for the three piece and a soda.

Masvidal KO'd a bunch of ranked welterweights in 2019. Burns was an unranked lightweight with virtually zero name recognition.
