UFC: Kamaru Usman lashes out at BMF Jorge Masvidal

While interacting with ESPN, welterweight champion Kamaru Usman vowed that he would defeat Jorge Masvidal if y ever go at it in octagon. Kamaru Usman also criticised Masvidal’s decision to run it back with Nate Diaz. According to Kamaru Usman, he would bring a bigger event for Jorge Masvidal than Nate Diaz but believes that BMF would never accept fight against him.

“ guy that you kinda just beat, playing around, you thought that’s a better fight for you? Why is that a better fight than being champion of world? Oh, because you kw champ of world is going to beat s*** out of you” told Kamaru Usman to ESPN.

Despite Kamaru Usman’s condemning Masvidal's choices, BMF has t yet replied to Usman's words. BMF was reportedly set to step up against Cor McGregor in an action-packed welterweight contest at UFC Fight Island. However, matchup did t materialise and Kamaru Usman’s manr Ali Abdelaziz n offered a 170 lbs title shot to Cor McGregor on Twitter. While Abdelaziz's title shot was aimed at mocking McGregor, Cor McGregor vs Kamaru Usman could quite possibly go through if both fighters agree to matchup as UFC continues to host live events.
