UFC welterweight Leon Edwards appears to have gotten his wish. Less than one week after Edwards told MMAjunkie Radio he wanted to face either Donald Cerrone or Jorge Masvidal in his next bout, the promotion is close to finalizing a meeting with Cerrone. The news comes via a report from ESPN.com’s Brett Okamoto, who tweeted that verbal agreements are in place for the bout to headline UFC Fight Night 132. The fight has not yet been made official by the promotion. UFC Fight Night 132 takes place June 23 in Singapore at a venue to be determined. Edwards targeted “Cowboy” Cerrone and Masvidal because they are both highly ranked and will be free to fight this summer
