Jorge Masvidal still has his sights set on Leon Edwards but is also open to fighting Colby Covington next.<\/p>\n

Masvidal was forced out of his UFC 269 fight<\/a> with Edwards due to an undisclosed injury. On Wednesday, in his first interview, since he withdrew, he didn’t reveal the injury but says he still wants to fight the Brit.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf [Edwards] says no, then I\u2019m going to pass, then Colby\u2019s b*tch-ass it is,\u201d Masvidal said on The MMA Hour<\/em><\/a>… “I\u2019m coming off two losses, I\u2019ve got to make sure I go in there healthy and well to give him my all. If he wants to wait until Feburary or March, I can decapitate him on site for the world to see. If he doesn\u2019t, what can I do? We will meet eventually.”<\/p>\n

As of right now, it seems unlikely Edwards will wait around for Masvidal as he made it clear he wants the title shot against Usman. Assuming that happens, “Gamebred” admits he wants to fight and beat up<\/a> Covington.<\/p>\n

Masvidal and Covington have a rivalry as they are former roommates and teammates but had a massive falling out. With that, their fight would be a big one but Masvidal doesn’t care if it is next.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to address Leon\u2019s bitch-ass first, and then we\u2019ll take care of the fragile rat guy \u2013 now he\u2019s changing his gimmick \u2013 now he\u2019s a guy and sh*t,\u201d Masvidal said. \u201c[Kamaru] Usman beat his ass so hard, now he\u2019s a nice guy. Wow, what a f*cking turn of events, huh? That f*cking coward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jorge Masvidal is on a two-fight losing streak as he lost both fights to Kamaru Usman for the belt. He last fought back in April as he suffered a KO loss to the champ at UFC 261 after stepping up on days’ notice at UFC 251 against Usman where he lost a decision. Before the title fight losses, he had beaten Nate Diaz, Ben Askren, and Darren Till to become a massive star and the BMF champ.<\/p>\n
