Finally, after two years, a three-piece, and a soda, MMA fans will finally get to see a grudge match between Jorge Masvidal and Leon Edwards. After the news was announced, here’s how the MMA community reacted to the news:

Leon lost to nate who got murdered by Jorge. Easy dub I'm afraid pic.twitter.com/wjYIFJGicM

If Leon keeps it smart and clinical and doesn’t get engage in a brawl this has 30-27 Edwards written all over it. But Jorge can apply pressure and can hit hard which may be the downfall of Leon. The beef and dislike for eachother is real as well, makes it all the more interesting

Masvidal has to win. His star power is finished if he gets finished. A close decision loss?? Still got some steam. Leon finishes Jorge?? I’m not taking another fight until it’s for the title. Colby and Usman could go to 3 fights and I’m still waiting if I’m Edwards https://t.co/tPzk85KwJK

Leon shouldn’t take that IMO. He took that against Nate & it blatantly favoured Nate. Leon’s technical style requires perfect concentration at all times. He kept that until the last minute of the 5th, lost it for a moment, and Nate nearly finished him. Stick to 3 unless 4 a belt

The end of Masvidal as we know it. Been a great ride.

Finally Leon’s chance to get revenge.Never thought I would go against Jorge but he ain’t the same guy I followed and supported for years before it’s was a trend.Problem is that guy ain’t the Jorge we have now so am outta here.

Am I confident enough that Leon Edwards can beat Jorge Masvidal? Absolutely. Is it still a dangerous fight cause he's risking his streak for a dude that got slept violently? ABSOLUTELY. Leon better bring his AAA game for this one or we might see Usman vs. Masvidal III.

Cant wait for this one. Leon gonna be a demon in this fight. Im picking him as much ss i love masvidal.. just think his stand just a bit crisper.. also he wants to prove so much to masvidal and everyone on how good he is . Gonna be a great fight

Gonna be fire.

Gamebred is fucked.

— Scott The Rock (@scotttherock2) October 11, 2021

Feel really bad for Edwards. Normally, he could just wait for his title shot but he's now thrown into another fight that could potentially derail his chances. Still, I think he beats Jorge unless he gets caught like in the Diaz fight.

Ufc trying very hard to make 269 more stacked than 268

It'll be hard to do so keep adding bangers, Dana!

— Tito NotOrtiz (@KrayT1to) October 11, 2021

Oh boy this is gonna be a banger! Big violence potential. In caposa's words: this is for the inagural welter weight violence title.
