JORGE MASVIDAL is determined to fight Leon Edwards in England. He vowed to "beat him again "... before going to the pub.
In 2019, the welterweight rivals met for the first time in a now-famous backstage brawl at UFC London.
Masvidal claimed that Edwards was given a "three-piece and a soda," even though the British competitor felt like he had been suckered.
The pair was due to meet in December, but Masvidal injured his knee and he had to withdraw.
It keeps the rivalry alive, and is ready to settle it back where it all began.
Masvidal, 37 years old, stated to SunSport that he would love to defeat his ass in England again. It would be f***ing awesome to beat him again in England.

Edwards already stated that his ideal first defense would be against Masvidal in Britain.
It would also give the American another chance to achieve his ultimate goal of winning UFC title.
Masvidal says he needs to work on his grappling and wrestling.
He stated that he was able to work well with strikers and has worked well with some the most talented strikers in the league.
"The wrestlers have been a problem for me historically so I am addressing it.
"I have been with two of the best weight division wrestlers, Askren and three with Usman. Askren was my favorite, but Usman was not as good.
