I will co-main event [Kamaru] Usman-[Colby] Covington and whoever wins gets a title shot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though I feel I deserve a title shot right now, I will put my <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/leon-edwards-issues-statement-following-win-over-rafael-dos-anjos-at-ufc-san-antonio\/\">eight-fight win streak<\/a> against <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/colby-covington-fires-back-after-nate-diaz-snub\/\">his two-fight win streak<\/a> just to prove my case that I\u2019m the best fighter in the world plus I get to smack his head off so that\u2019s just a win-win for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Masvidal, of course, has recently been linked to a matchup with Nate Diaz, which could ultimately leave Edwards without a dance partner. In that event, Edwards would be willing to fight former UFC welterweight champ Tyron Woodley \u2014 so long as the UFC makes it worth his while financially, and promise him a title shot with a win.<\/p>\n<p>The priority, however, is a grudge match with Masvidal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf it\u2019s guaranteed a title shot next then probably,\u201d Edwards said when asked about potentially facing Woodley. \u201cLike I said, I want that Masvidal fight. That\u2019s the biggest fight to make. I feel like me and Woodley, we\u2019ve got no animosity, there\u2019s nothing there other than a chance to beat a former world champion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel Masvidal is the fight to make and that\u2019s the one I\u2019m pushing for. But if they come with Woodley with good money, I\u2019ll do it as well. Pay me and I\u2019ll show up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Who do you want to see Leon Edwards fight in his next outing?
