The 27-years-old defeated the Brazilian via UD and called out an old foe immediately after the fight. “Rocky” stated that he wants a fight with Jorge Masvidal with whom he had an altercation after UFC London earlier this year.
Both Masvidal and Edwards won their fights in England and when the American was giving his post-fight interview this happened.
It seems though, the 34-year-old American is not interested in Edwards, stating that he’s been promised a title shot at the welterweight champion.
Big difference between putting top ranked opponents to sleep and putting fans to sleep #bum #whoru

So I can be clear I was promised a title shot after I beat askren and I plan on cashing in on it. Don’t call me out no more until I get that belt #supernecessary
