JAKARTA - UFC world champion Leon Edwards opened the door to defend his title against Conor McGregor. He then quipped Jorge Masvidal.
Edwards became the best in the welterweight after defeating Kamaru Usman last August. Now he is planning a fight to defend the title.
McGregor is a candidate. The reason is, the Irish fighter has confirmed that he will move up to the welterweight during his comeback.
"Conor will be one of the easy-to-make (match plans). We are managed by the same management team. I think whoever comes, comes," Edwards said, as reported by The Sun.
Apart from McGregor, Edwards is actually also eyeing Masvidal. The 37-year-old man was involved in a fight with Edwards backstage in 2019.
However, according to him, it will be difficult to realize the fight. The reason is, the fight against Masvidal will be difficult to sell.
"Masvidal is one I definitely want to have, but because he keeps losing it's hard to make sense to our company," Edwards quipped.
To deal with McGregor, Edwards has to be patient. The reason is, the former UFC champion will only fight again next year.
McGregor wants to ensure his broken leg recovers completely before finally returning to action in the octagon.
