Jorge Masvidal: 4 UFC fighters who could challenge the BMF Champion next

Modified Nov 06, 2019 10:01 GMT

#1 Leon Edwards

Leon Edwards might appear to be an odd choice for the #1 spot on this list at first glance, but hear me out.

Yes, Leon Edwards is definitely not rated as highly as Jorge Masvidal at the moment. Even on the current UFC Welterweight rankings, Edwards is ranked below Jorge Masvidal. However, there is something more than Masvidal's quest for the title that could make this fight a very real possibility.

At UFC London, in the co-main event, Leon Edwards had managed to get a win in his fight against Gunnar Nelson. In the main event, Masvidal knocked out Darren Till and also got a win.

The two would then come together backstage in the most unfortunate manner. During an interview, Masvidal and Edwards engaged in a brawl. As a result of the brawl, Edwards received a cut under his left eye, souring what was otherwise a very happy night for him. Both men have since talked about their real-life rivalry, with Edwards being extremely vocal about getting his revenge on Masvidal.

There is hardly something as useful as real-life heat to add fuel to a proper fight in the Octagon. This might be one of the biggest fights possible for Masvidal to engage in next.
