Jorge Masvidal may have lost back-to-back fights to UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman, but he’s already thinking about his eventual return to the octagon later this year and has an old rival in mind as an opponent.
Masvidal spent Thursday promoting his Gambred Fighting Championship promotion ahead of the inaugural fight card this weekend, featuring a main event between featherweights Jason Knight and Charles Bennett. While he talked about how excited he was to begin his new venture as a fight promoter, he answered many questions about whether or not he’ll return to the UFC this year and is planning on a Fall return against a top-five opponent.
When asked who he would like to fight, Masvidal had a notable name in mind; Leon Edwards.
“Whoever is available in October, November when I’m coming back, that’s whose head is coming off,” Masvidal said during a media scrum. “Leon did what he does. He keeps asking for more money and more things, but he’s not a finisher, he’s not a fighter. He was winning happily and he wasn’t willing to put himself at risk to go out there and get those finishes.”
“That’s why I don’t think he’s in the position he wants to be. He’s not going out there and fighting every second of every minute.”
Edwards is coming off a virtually dominant performance from start to finish against Nate Diaz at UFC 263 with the exception of a late flurry from Diaz in the bout’s final minute. He showcased his technical striking combined with a scrappy ground game to essentially dismantle Diaz’s game plan.
Edwards and Masvidal first clashed in early 2019 backstage at a UFC Fight Night event in London. The two came face-to-face with Masvidal throwing punches and creating his trademark phrase “three-piece with a soda”. Edwards is expected to compete for the title in his next fight after the Usman vs. Colby Covington rematch later this year, but a bout with Masvidal is certainly still on the table.

Former UFC middleweight champion and current fight broadcaster Michael Bisping wants Leon Edwards to fight an old rival for his next UFC bout; Jorge Masvidal.
Edwards is flying high after his unanimous decision win over Nate Diaz at UFC 263 and dominated the fight with the exception of the last minute of the final round. He is currently on a nine-fight winning streak with his lone blemish on his record being a no-contest against Belal Muhammad earlier this year.
Edwards and Masvidal had an infamous backstage altercation while they were both fighting at UFC Fight Night 147 in the UK. The phrase “three-piece with a soda” was born after Masvidal attacked Edwards backstage when the two welterweights came face-to-face in the back of the arena.
Although it’s been a little over two years since the backstage brawl, Bisping thinks the time is right for Edwards and Masvidal to settle their differences in the UFC octagon.
“Jorge Masvidal, man. That’s who it needs to be,” Bisping said when asked who Edwards should fight next. “Some people are saying that Masvidal needs to fight Nate Diaz again. I disagree. And Masvidal has to take that fight as well. If you go out there and you crack another man in the face who is in your weight class and you both work for a company that matches their employees against one another and puts them in an Octagon to fight, the pieces of the puzzle are there. “
“That absolutely, unequivocally, has to be the next fight for both of those men.”
Following the win over Diaz, Edwards voice his intention to have his next UFC fight be a title shot against welterweight champion Kamaru Usman, no matter how long he’ll have to wait. But if he wants to take a fight against a top contender and stay active before the Usman fight comes, it might be a plausible option to fight Masvidal later this year.
Masvidal is coming off two-straight losses to Usman in back-to-back title shots, with the most recent coming by way of knockout at UFC 261. Before that, he had been one of the hottest fighters in all of combat sports after big wins over Darren Till, Ben Askren, and Diaz in 2019.
