In a video posted on his official YouTube channel, UFC Hall of Famer and commentator Michael Bisping said:
Bisping added that UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman is set to defend his title in a rematch against Colby Covington next. He pointed out that if Covington beats Usman, they’ll be 1-1 in their series. That could lead to a trilogy fight right away.
‘The Count’ continued that Edwards would have to wait on the sidelines for the Usman-Covington matchups to be done with. And if Usman or Covington gets injured, that’ll mean Edwards will have to wait even longer. Bisping then highlighted that fighters like Vicente Luque and Gilbert Burns could win impressively and possibly leapfrog Edwards for a title shot.
Michael Bisping on the history between Leon Edwards and Jorge Masvidal
Michael Bisping recalled the ‘3 piece with the soda’ brawl that saw Jorge Masvidal attack Leon Edwards backstage at UFC London in 2019. Bisping said:
Bisping feels Edwards should aim to ‘beat the sh**’ out of Jorge Masvidal, as the latter assaulted Edwards a few years back.
Leon Edwards was recently called out by Jorge Masvidal. Edwards responded by asserting that he wasn’t interested in fighting Masvidal because the latter is on a two-fight losing streak. However, Edwards later claimed that he’s ready to fight Masvidal at UFC 268, but Masvidal isn’t willing to accept the fight.
Neither Leon Edwards nor Jorge Masvidal have their respective next opponents and comeback dates confirmed as of yet.
