Leon Edwards had quite a bit to say about Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone before their fight \u2014 particularly about the veteran’s age and attitude toward fighting<\/a>. Yet in the wake of the fight, which Edwards won by decision, there’s nothing but respect remaining between them. In fact, Edwards considers Cowboy a legend.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe buildup to the fight, I wasn\u2019t talking shit, I was just saying he\u2019s an older guy and that\u2019s all I was saying,\u201d Edwards said at\u00a0the post-fight press conference (via MMA Fighting<\/a>). \u201cHe took it personal and said he\u2019s going to be angry and blah, blah, blah, but it is what it is. To go out there and face him in the fifth round, I was just talking to him and said, \u2018You said I would slow down in the fifth round and you were gonna pick the pace up in the fifth round. Well, now what you doin\u2019?\u2019 So I was just having fun in the fifth round talking to him.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the fight I told him I respected him and he\u2019s a legend of the game and it was an honor for me to fight him.\u201d<\/p>\n

With his fight with Cowboy in the rear-view, Edwards is now hoping to mix it up with Jorge ‘Gamebred’ Masvidal<\/a> \u2014 ideally in his hometown of Birmingham, England.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the time, he was No. 6 in the rankings and I was going down in the rankings and everyone else was matched up, so why not take out another old gun?\u201d Edwards said, explaining his call-out of Masvidal. \u201cMasvidal, he\u2019s been around again, a long time, so why not go in there and take him out?<\/p>\n

\u201cTo bring the UFC back to Birmingham as well, headline billing me and him, have\u00a0Tom Breese\u00a0and my brother Fabian on the bill. It would be amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Does a potential Leon Edwards vs. Jorge Masvidal bout interest you?<\/p>\n
