is dodging him<\/a>, but he also doesn’t think he is a good fighter. He believes Gamebred is a fraud and a journeyman as many have said he is.<\/p>\n“I believe he’s a fraud and he’s doing what he needs to get out of the fight. He knows that once he loses to me, where does he go?… I always felt he was a fake, he’s a fraud. I knew this going into the fight that he’s a fake. He had like a good year, year and a half that he had the (Darren) Till knockout, the Ben Askren knockout, and that kind of propelled him. But apart from that, he’s nothing but a journeyman,” Edwards said. “Every time he fights more than likely he’s probably gonna lose. My opinion hasn’t changed much. I knew what I knew and now the fans are getting to see it. Now it’s clear as day that he’s not who he pretends to be.”<\/p>\n
With Edwards no longer fighting Masvidal at UFC 269, the hope for him is to fight for the title next time out.<\/p>\n
