UFC welterweight contender Leon Edwards took a shot at Jorge Masvidal, saying his “Street Jesus” persona is just a marketing ploy.<\/p>\n
Edwards and Masvidal have butted heads on social media for several months now<\/a>, and the rivalry doesn’t look to be ending anytime soon. Both men are ranked in the top-five of the UFC welterweight division and are hoping to land a rematch against UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman, who previously defeated both men. So it makes sense that these two be paired up at some point in a potential welterweight title eliminator.<\/p>\n On Sunday, Edwards continued to take shots at Masvidal on social media. He even accused Masvidal of faking his “Street Jesus” persona and said it was a marketing ploy on Masvidal’s part. Take a look below at what Edwards wrote on his Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n Has everyone realised the whole street jesus hard man shit was all just marketing yet? and @GamebredFighter<\/a> is actually a shit journeyman? or people still think hes good?<\/p>\n — Leon 'Rocky' Edwards (@Leon_edwardsmma) August 23, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
