Jorge Masvidal open image in gallery Jorge Masvidal sucker-punched Leon Edwards backstage at UFC London in 2019 For: This is the fight that Edwards wants most, and that is because there is history between himself and the American. Masvidal, despite his poor recent record, is still one of the biggest names in the UFC, and a fight against Edwards would be an easy sell in a narrative sense. Against: Although Chimaev’s last fight was a dominant win over Kevin Holland, whom the “Wolf” submitted in Round 1, that bout took place after Chimaev missed weight badly and wrecked his planned contest with Nate Diaz – as well as the entire UFC 279 card. Gilbert Burns open image in gallery One win could propel Gilbert Burns back into the UFC welterweight title picture For: After Chimaev, Burns provides the most interesting stylistic match-up for Edwards.
