And who do you think will walk out of the octagon as the winner?

The Spark That Started the Conflict

In March of 2019, Jorge Masvidal and Leon Edwards fought on the same card against different opponents. After the conclusion of the event, Jorge was doing an interview before Edwards stepped in and started taunting him. As a result, the two got into a heated exchange of words which eventually led to Masvidal punching him in the face. Although security quickly got things under control, the situation was never resolved between the two. As a result, Edwards started calling him out on Twitter, but nothing came to fruition. Fast forward 2.5 years later, the UFC is finally treating us with a match-up between the two. This will be one of the most exciting fights in the welterweight division this year as the Edwards vs Masvidal odds and predictions suggest. How will this fight play out? And who has the advantage stepping into the octagon?

Leon Edwards is on a Legendary Streak

After a shaky UFC debut in 2014, Leon Edwards started tearing through the welterweight division. After 14 fights, the British mixed martial artist is on a record of 11 wins, 2 losses, and 1 no contest. His latest loss was more than five years ago against current champion Kamaru Usman. Since then, Edwards managed to pull off wins against some of the best the division has to offer including Rafael Dos Anjos, Vicente Luque, and many others. With such a legendary streak, the 30-year-old certainly deserves to be next for a shot at the title as he currently sits in the #3 spot of the welterweight rankings.

Unfortunately for him, Edwards’ attitude towards dealing with the UFC and demanding a title shot while sitting out for more than a year did him harm more than good. Therefore, he now has to prove himself as a worthy contender for the belt and there is no better man to do it against other than Masvidal. A win of the former title challenger will put Edwards ahead of everyone for a shot at the title. The Edwards vs Masvidal odds indicate that this will be an exciting fight to watch, so make sure do not miss out!

The Resurrection of Jorge Masvidal

Jorge Masvidal is a seasoned veteran of the sport with a record of 35 wins and 15 losses. The American mixed martial artist has had his fair share of ups and downs throughout his career. Although Masvidal started his career as a lightweight, he decided to move up a weight class to the welterweight division. Initially, things did not work out well for him after two consecutive losses to Damian Maia and Stephen Thompson. As a result, the 36-year-old decided to take some time off and rebuild again which turned out to be the best decision of his career.

Masvidal came back as a different fighter who only looks to finish or as he likes to call it “baptize” his opponents. His career was resurrected after three consecutive KO/ TKO wins. In the process, he even captured the BMF belt over Nate Diaz. Although Masvidal looked unstoppable, he came up short against the champion Kamaru Usman on two occasions. As a result, he is looking to work his way up for a third shot at the title, and the fight against Edwards is the one the makes the most sense. Although the Edwards vs Masvidal odds are not in his favor, this will be a closely contested fight.
