“I'm ranked higher (than Masvidal) and going for my ninth win in a row and you (Masvidal) know that if you beat me, you'll be close to fighting for the belt. Keep hiding behind the excuse you and your team created because you know I'm going to screw you. Has everyone realized that the 'Jesus of the Streets' thing about him being tough was just marketing and that the truth is that Masvidal is just another guy? Or do people still think he’s good?” Edwards wrote on Twitter.
