The scuffle between Jorge Masvidal and Leon Edwards

Jorge Masvidal quickly rose to stardom in 2019 with three highlight-reel knockout victories. However, the famous 'three piece and a soda' incident also immensely contributed to Masvidal's popularity.

The incident occurred at UFC London after 'Gamebred's' knockout win over Darren Till in March 2019. Masvidal was speaking to Laura Sanko backstage when Leon Edwards called him out.

'Gamebred' walked towards Edwards with his hands behind his back and landed a flurry of punches, leaving 'Rocky' with a cut on his face.

Masvidal later described the combination of punches as a 'three piece and a soda' which has now cemented its place in MMA pop culture. In an interview following the incident, 'Gamebred' told ESPN MMA's Brett Okamoto:

"As I’m walking to him, I got my hands behind my back to signal [that] I’m not coming here for problems. But he put his hands up like this in some video and he walks towards me. Well, where I’m from if you do that you’re going to punch me in the face and that’s not going to happen, Leon...You’re not going to get a hit off on me. So I had to give him the three piece with the soda and then just glide out of there, you know?"
