Following this, Mateusz bashed Leon on Twitter saying, “Shut your mouth poosy. I saw the injury happen at training and you are super lucky because Masvidal was in top shape and would murder you. Fight with @GamebredFighter in March or wait in line”.

‘Rocky’ and Jorge Masvidal have been on stiff terms from the very beginning. Masvidal has been out of the game following his last defeat at the hands of Kamaru Usman. He was set to return against Edwards, but now the much-awaited fight between the two has been canceled.
Following this turn of events, Leon dragged Jorge on Twitter, quoting, “Disappointed, but honestly, I knew this fraud didn’t want to fight me, anyway. He was just a stop off on the way to the title. The goal remains the same. Much needed family time now, @usman84kg I will see you soon.”
