UFC star Jorge Masvidal is blazing all guns against his rivals ahead of his fight at UFC 287. While he has been at loggerheads with Colby Covington since time

immemorial, Khamzat Chimaev also faced the brunt of his scathing remarks recently. However, if ‘Gamebred’ can back his words with a splendid display inside the Octagon, he can leapfrog ‘Chaos’ for the title shot. Notably, the American fighter who eyes breaking his 4-loss slump as he faces Gilbert Burns in Miami on April 8 might cut the line if he decimates the Brazilian fighter.

Following this, the former UFC associate revealed he could envision a fight involving him and the champion, Leon Edwards. Thus, he suggested, “This guy wins impressively with his star power. I could see him right in the conversation for a fight against Leon Edwards.”
