Saturday night’s UFC London card was topped by a pair of key welterweight contender bouts. In the main event, Englishman Darren Till was taking on Jorge Masvidal who was returning after over 400 days away from the cage. Meanwhile, in the co-main event, Englishman Leon Edwards was taking on longtime Icelandic contender Gunnar Nelson. Ultimately, Masvidal knocked out Till out cold in the second round while Edwards beat Nelson by split-decision.

Shortly after the UFC London card wrapped up, co-main event winner Leon Edwards interrupted a Jorge Masvidal interview with a bit of trash talk. Masvidal evidently didn’t appreciate what he was hearing, and approached Edwards, challenging the Brit to say it to his face. Seconds later, the punches were flying, as Masvidal uncorked a blistering, bare knuckle combination on his rival (see it here).

Ben Askren will have a close eye on the UFC London main event, which pits Jorge Masvidal against Darren Till, as he’s already been linked to a fight with the winner of the bout. He’s also bound to be watching the UFC London co-main event, which pits welterweight contenders Gunnar Nelson and Leon Edwards against each other, as a bout with either man is very possible for him down the road. In a video posted to the UFC Europe Twitter account, Ben Askren made a prediction for Jorge Masvidal vs. Darren Till and Leon Edwards vs. Gunnar Nelson at UFC London.

The UFC is heading back to London, England this Saturday. In the main event of this UFC London card, Englishman Darren Till is looking to get back into the win column as he takes on the dangerous Jorge Masvidal.

Ben Askren finally has a UFC win on his resume — unfortunately it came with a side order of controversy. The win, which occurred at UFC 235, came when he locked up a bulldog choke on Robbie Lawler. For a moment, it looked like the choke had lulled Lawler unconcious. The instant replay, however, revealed that Lawler seemed to be wide awake, and still capable of fighting. Whatever the case, Ben Askren seems to have moved on, and is now focusing on his next challenge in the UFC’s Octagon. While nothing is official just yet, it sounds like Askren’s next challenge will pit him against the winner of this weekend’s Jorge Masvidal vs. Darren Till fight.

Askren, no stranger to trash talk, has been laying the foundation for this potential matchup over the last few weeks. On Monday, he continued to do so, taking a shot at both Till and Masvidal in an incendiary Tweet.

Jorge Masvidal is not a Michael Bisping fan. In fact, Masvidal dislikes the British legend so much that he’s long stated he’ll happily fight him outside the cage. Apparently, that hasn’t changed.

The UFC’s return to London, which goes down on March 17, is still without a main event. That being said, it’s been widely rumored that British welterweight contender Darren Till will get the call to headline the card — he’ll just need to find a willing dance partner. On Monday morning, he found just that, as long time UFC welterweight contender Jorge Masvidal offered to fight Till in his backyard.
