Jorge Masvidal senses an opportunity in the welterweight division after Kamaru Usman's loss at UFC 278.Following Leon Edwards' shock win over the longtime welterweight king, the landscape of the division seems to have changed. For former two-time challenger Masvidal, the only obstacle in his path to the title was the now-former champion Kamaru Usman.'Gamebred' tweeted in the aftermath of the UFC 278 main event with a bold prediction:"I will be the ww champ of the ufc soon"Jorge Masvidal UFC@GamebredFighterI will be the ww champ of the ufc soon3558197I will be the ww champ of the ufc soonFans were quick to troll his championship ambitions and dismiss him. One fan, @canerovic7, sarcastically lauded him as a future champion, but in the WWE and not the UFC:"You will be the wwe champ my man"Caney@canerovic7@GamebredFighter You will be the wwe champ my man2622@GamebredFighter You will be the wwe champ my manOther fans reacted to his tweet with similarly humorous comments:Patrick Rodriguez@patrick2829@GamebredFighter345@GamebredFighter https://t.co/yPZ2G2YNsi؏بـــدالمـــجـــيـــد القرني@mg500000@GamebredFighter 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣8@GamebredFighter 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Boxing Tiger@ahmed701_ho@GamebredFighter Unlikely1@GamebredFighter UnlikelyMystic Mac Translator@TheNotoriousTRA@GamebredFighter210@GamebredFighter https://t.co/ni0oEQFGSNBjørn Suldvart@Suldvart@GamebredFighter14@GamebredFighter https://t.co/lUQj8N0g8mFans also brought up his current three-fight skid. Two of those losses came against former champ Kamaru Usman in title fights so it is no surprise to see Masvidal feel optimistic now that he is no longer the champion. Other fans informed him that he must win before he can be considered a part of the title picture again:Tom@Thomas81701668@GamebredFighter 3 losses in a row, get one big win and we can talk.45@GamebredFighter 3 losses in a row, get one big win and we can talk.Bradley@NFFC_Bradley@GamebredFighter Got to win a fight for that to happen1@GamebredFighter Got to win a fight for that to happenThe Rambassator@RamDadOf2@GamebredFighter 🤣🤣🤣.

'Rocky' and 'Gamebred' have never met in the octagon but that hasn't stopped the two from skirmishing outside of it.The two had an altercation after a UFC London event in March 2019. Masvidal, fresh off of upsetting the English crowd by knocking out Darren Till, targeted Edwards backstage.The welterweight contenders exchanged words and Masvidal surprised Edwards with a few punches.Watch their backstage encounter here:ESPN MMA@espnmmaJorge Masvidal and Leon Edwards exchange words and punches backstage during the ESPN+ post-show81592669Jorge Masvidal and Leon Edwards exchange words and punches backstage during the ESPN+ post-show https://t.co/kYEkWxN8IoJorge Masvidal described his actions as reactionary and coined the 'three-piece and a soda' phrase, referring to the combo he used against 'Rocky'.
