Having long been on the front line for a title shot in the organization, Edwards may have his dream postponed once again. Current number three in the category led by Kamaru Usman, the combatant, who had asked for the chance after the victory over Nate diaz, you must make one more commitment before the opportunity.

Challenging for the belt twice in a row (2020 and 2021), Masvidal complained and had his request granted. In recent days, 'Jesus das Ruas' has made direct criticisms of Ultimate, demanding a confrontation against Leon.

The fighters have a controversial history outside the Octagon. In 2019, they came to blows behind the scenes of a card promoted by the UFC. On that occasion, the Englishman ended up suffering an eye injury.

One step away from fighting for the title, Edwards is enjoying a great moment in the company. While Jorge comes from two stumbles, against Kamaru Usman, Leon has 10 fights without losing.
