Last night (Sat. July 21, 2019) Leon Edwards joined the welterweight elite. He dispatched of Rafael dos Anjos in the UFC San Antonio main event in dominant fashion.

Edwards out-classed the former lightweight champion and took home a unanimous decision. Following his victory, Edwards called out newly-found foe Jorge Masvidal. “Gamebred” is coming off a five-second knockout win over Ben Askren at UFC 239, registering the fastest in promotion history.

Masvidal took to Twitter to respond to Edwards’ callout, taking a shot at the entertainment value in Edwards’ victory over “RDA”:

“Big difference between putting top ranked opponents to sleep and putting fans to sleep #bum#whoru

Masvidal then noted that he had been promised a welterweight title opportunity after his win over Askren, and plans on cashing-in on that promise next. However, he also told Edwards to stop calling him out until his quest for the gold is complete:

“So I can be clear I was promised a title shot after I beat askren and I plan on cashing in on it. Don’t call me out no more until I get that belt #supernecessary

What do you think about Masvidal telling Edwards to quit calling him out? Will Masvidal actually get a title shot next?
