“Jorge suddenly started saying that he would fight if you become a champion. Edwards shouldn't be fighting Jorge Masvidal. He should literally recognize Masvidal as a minor league and not even mention his name. Why talk about Masvidal if this guy hit you on the sly backstage but never fought you? Then all of a sudden you became a champion and he wanted to fight you," Cormier was quoted by sportskeeda.com
Recall that Edwards became the UFC champion by knocking out Kamaru Usman in a rematch. He finished the Nigerian Nightmare in the last minute of the fifth round.
