Leon Edwards feels Colby Covington being awarded a title shot would be a product of "Dana White privilege" 😬 #TheMMAHour "I definitely have a say and he ain’t getting the title shot next fight." ▶️

This never ends well for the champion, tell them you want more money for the fight but to refuse who the boss says you’re fighting next never ever ends well

@arielhelwani Well, Leon had Dana white privilege too then getting his title shot with a win over Nate Diaz

I think he knows colby and khamzat potentially have his number. Not really too admirable after a controversial win. If that was in Vegas he wouldn't even have the belt so I think he wants to avoid wrestlers at all cost.

Yeaaaah, Edwards doesn't have that type of clout to pick his fights lol He's definitely fighting Colby next. The UFC is a business at the end of the day. Dana is set on Colby getting the next shot cause he'll sell the fight. He's absolutely fighting Colby next lol

Dana White: “Leon doesn’t want to fight. We’re making an interim ufc welterweight title between Colby Covington & Jorge Masvidal”

@arielhelwani But wants to fight Masvidal, who Colby destroyed. Ok!

He wants to give title shot to Jorge. So his opinion doesn’t really mean anything.

But Masvidal lost to Usman twice too and lost to Colby in his last fight. Don’t blame him@for wanting the easier fight tbf, especially when it can be marketed with the whole 3 piece and a soda thing.

“i definitely have a say” he has no leverage lmfao and he’s fighting him next whether he likes it or not
