The highly anticipated welterweight fight between former title challenger Jorge Masvidal and top contender Leon Edwards has been set for UFC 269 which will take place on December 11. The venue for the fight hasn’t been released yet but the card was supposed to be headlined by a flyweight title fight between Brandon Moreno and Deiveson Figueiredo. That fight has now been officially moved to UFC 270 on Jan 22.

The fight between Jorge Masvidal and Leon Edwards is supposed to be a five-round fight, although MMA fans would have wanted to see this as a five-round fight. Both fighters have been mouthing off each other for over two years now. The pair first encounter between the pair took place back in UFC London where Masvidal caught Edwards with a hard right hand. Both fighters have been going off at each other ever since.

Jorge Masvidal vs Leon Edwards

This is an incredibly important fight for Leon Edwards as he is currently riding on a ten fight winning streak and a win here will guarantee him a title shot. Leon Edwards has fought twice this year with one win and a ‘No Contest’.

Leon Edwards took to Twitter after the fight was announced and wrote ‘Millionaire‘ in a cryptic manner.

Jorge Masvidal hopes to get back into title contention
