Earlier this morning (June 23, 2018), rising welterweight contender Leon Edwards picked up an impressive unanimous decision victory over veteran Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone.
Speaking on his victory after the fight, Edwards admitted that he was hoping to finish ‘Cowboy’:
“I wanted to go out there and put him away,” Edwards told MMAjunkie. “That would have made a mark for me to bring the UFC back to Birmingham, (England).”
Prior to the fight, there seemed to have been a bit of bad blood between the two, likely stemming from some of Edwards’ brash comments. The 26-year-old, however, claims that he wasn’t talking trash:
“I wasn’t talking (expletive),” Edwards said. “I was just saying he was an older guy. He took it personally and said he was going to be angry. It is what it is.
“In the fifth round, I was just talking to him and said, ‘You said you wouldn’t slow down in the fifth round. Now what are you doing?’” he said. “Once I got the range on him, he’s not a fast-paced fighter. He does the same thing every fight, so that’s all it was.”
Regardless of the fact that he didn’t score the finish, Edwards is still hoping to land a fight in his hometown of Birmingham, England and he has a potential opponent in mind as well:
“I was going on the rankings, and everyone else was matched up,” Edwards said. “Masvidal, he’s been around the game a long time, so why not go out there and take him out? To bring the UFC back to Birmingham and headline the bill with my teammate Tom Breese and my brother Fabian would be amazing.”
Masvidal, who hasn’t competed since dropping a decision defeat to Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson last November at Madison Square Garden in New York City, has been on the sidelines for quite a few months, but he’s recently expressed his interest in returning soon and a bout against Edwards could make sense.

Jorge Masvidal lit a fire under his teammate Yoel Romero. Earlier this month at UFC 225, Romero took on middleweight champion Robert Whittaker. The bout served as the pay-per-view headliner, but it wasn’t contested for the 185-pound gold. That’s because “The Soldier of God” missed weight. Romero and Whittaker went the distance.

Ahead of a potential return, Jorge Masvidal is fired up about a certain welterweight contender:

Welterweight contender Jorge Masvidal hasn’t competed since suffering a decision defeat to two-time title contender Stephen Thompson last November at UFC 217 in New York City and apparently, he’s having trouble finding an opponent.
Regardless, Masvidal is hoping to return to action soon and when he does, he’s planning to do some damage:
“I’m going to get somebody at some point or another, whether it be a top-10 guy or not,” Masvidal told MMAjunkie Radio. “Somebody’s face is going to get dismantled.”
One opponent could make sense is the red-hot Kamaru Usman, who’s won an incredible 12-straight fights and is coming off of a decision victory over Demian Maia last month in Chile. Masvidal, however, wasn’t impressed with Usman’s performance:
“That dude thinks he deserves a title shot beating Maia on two weeks’ notice,” Masvidal said. “Awesome for you if that’s how you think.
“It’s funny because Usman was calling me out saying I had ducked him,” Masvidal said. “Basically, that’s calling me a coward. Now that I’m saying let’s fight, he doesn’t want to fight.
“I saw him at Colby’s fight – I thought he had two broken (hands). That guy has to be better than Wolverine because he didn’t have any cast on. So that dude is Super Marvel X. I don’t know what the (expletive) he’s made out of. You broke two hands, and you don’t have no cast on? Wow, bro. That’s super powers, for real.”
Usman did indeed believe he suffered hand injuries in his bout against Maia, but it appears as if he’s healthy, although it’s unclear when he’ll be returning to the cage.
Ultimately, Masvidal expected more from “The Nigerian Nightmare” in that bout:
“It was (expletive) a snooze-fest,” he said. “And I get it – Maia wasn’t in shape. Put this guy out of his misery. You’ve been training for a fight how long? Get this guy out of there, or at least try to. Just staring at him – this is the fight game. This is what it’s becoming. A bunch of loudmouth (expletive).”
