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?

Fight fans and fighters had a lot to say about the impressive win that Leon Edwards put on against Rafael dos Anjos in their first meeting. 

As seen in the fight, which served as the headliner of the UFC San Antonio event, Edwards was able to pick up a unanimous decision win over the former UFC lightweight champion.

This fight took place on Saturday night (July 20, 2019) from the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas on ESPN. RDA had to deal with a nasty cut over his right eye that nearly had the fight be stopped by the doctor in the second round. RDA’s gameplan was to use leg kicks to slow down Edwards and then take the fight to the ground. 

Edwards used some great defense to slow this strategy down while implementing his own striking attack that was a big factor in such a  great fight.
