THE GRUGE matches between Jorge Masvidal & Brit Leon Edwards are finally scheduled for December 11.
Ariel Helwani, ESPN's MMA reporter, claims the pair will meet at UFC 269 in Las Vegas.
Leon Edwards will finally meet his main rival in the Octagon
Since March 2019, when they got into a heated backstage dispute at a London event, the fight between these two rivals has been in the works for three years.
Edwards and Masvidal have maintained verbal arguments since then. Gamebred recently called Edwards a coward. However, they have never been in competition inside the Octagon.
The highly anticipated bout will now take place in two weeks.
