Leon Edwards and Jorge Masvidal both earned huge wins at UFC London, but ended up scrapping again before the night was over -- with each other.
After Masvidal's big knockout win over Darren Till in the main event of the show, he was being interviewed by ESPN's Laura Sanko. Co-main event winner Leon Edwards shouted from across a room, causing Masvidal to go after him. Fists would then fly.
You can see the exchange below.

The quick battle was broken up while it conjured a "wow" out of future UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping on the ESPN broadcast, and several fighters commented as well.

Edwards earned a huge win of his own, beating out Gunnar Nelson in the co-main event.
Dana White would comment to ESPN's Brett Okamoto on the matter.
Comment from Dana White on the Masvidal, Edwards scuffle: I can’t even believe that this happened. We(UFC) need to do a much better job of making sure this shit doesn’t happen at any of our events!!!!
