News Masvidal Wants Leon Edwards Fight for Early 2022 (Update Leon Responds and Declines)

Lol what does poor Leon have to do to get a title shot

Not almost get KTFO in the last minute against Nate Diaz.

Lol at that fool thinking he gets a title shot off that.

Would make for a great 5-round co-main underneath Ngannou/Gane for UFC 270 in January.

Or Kamaru could defend his title against Leon as the Co-Main?

He did it for Jorge, who he had knocked out a few months prior, why not for a deserving challenger?

Aren't you one of the Jiri fanboys who believe he is "next in line"?

Didnt Jiri literally get knocked out in his last fight by Dominick Reyes?

You mean like current WW Champion Kamaru Usman who Tyron Woodley graciously fought knowing the deck was stacked against him?

Covington/Usman is already booked but Leon should be next no matter what. Leon has done everything that was asked of him, it is time for him to get his title shot.

The half of Sherdog crying over Francis Ngannous contentious relationship with the UFC, as if Francis is being wronged should refocus that energy into advocating for a guy who is legitimately being screwed out of opportunities he earned.

If Colby beats Usman in any way were getting a trilogy fight.

If Colby beats Usman in any way were getting a trilogy fight.

That would be an absolute disgrace as Usman does not deserve a rematch.

Either way, if Jiri can supposedly sit out and wait for a title fight a year away why cant Leon?

Has Mas ever finished anyone early besides Askren?

Cowboy before edwards won a split decision against cowboy

 

[DatSamboKid]

LOL what? I suppose that, based on that logic, Colbie should have fought Diego Sanchez or BJ Penn after getting wrecked by Usman.

Colby was way more competitive than Masvidal against Usman. Let’s not forget Robbie Lawler is a former champion, who went to distance with N.8 ranked WW Neil Magny and didn’t look bad.

 

[Kono dio da!]

Masvidal is too old now, I think his performances will decline every time we see him

Super wholesome av

 

[Kono dio da!]

Burns vs leon
Mas vs luque easy

Colby was competitive …right until he broke and got slaughtered.

But that’s besides the point, which is that losing to the champ, who is finishing all the contenders of late, should not send you that far down the pecking order. A guy like that, whether it’s Colby or Masvidal or Burns, should be fighting another contender, not a past it name like Woodley, Lawler or other.
