UFC welterweight elite Leon Edwards has trolled BMF champion Jorge Masvidal over the latter’s recent comments on him running away from a fight. Both of them have not been on good terms since their famous ‘three pieces and a soda’ incident back in 2019.

‘Rocky’ took to Twitter and retweeted a post from BJPenn.com and wrote, “What’s this fool talking about”. The BMF champion had recently given an interview where he accused Edwards of running away from him. ‘Gamebred’ took a cue from his matchup with Nate Diaz to troll Edwards.

For the unknowns, Masvidal and Diaz had fought for the BMF title back in 2019. ‘Gamebred’ had won the match after the physician rendered the Stockton native unfit to fight after 3rd round. Diaz then went on a 2-year hiatus before making his return against Edwards this June. He lost the fight via a unanimous decision.

‘Gamebred‘ targeted Edwards for almost getting knocked out by the man, who he easily defeated. According to him, Edwards doesn’t want to face him as he could hurt him badly.

Masvidal is looking for a title fight again and wants to challenge the top contenders who could take him to a title shot. In the interview given at Dickies arena, Masvidal had said, “I don’t know man. I mean sh*t. ‘Durinho’ is calling me out. If we can make it pop with Durinho, Leon, anyone of these guys that gets me closer to the belt. I don’t care how many fights I have to take.” (via BJPenn.com)
