Jorge Masvidal aka “Gamebred” has finally reached Abu Dhabi for this weekend’s UFC 251 headliner. The BMF champion will step up against welterweight champion Kamaru Usman and the bad-blood rivalry between the two star fighters has been staged for the main event of the inaugural UFC Fight Island PPV on July 12. After Gilbert Burns tested positive for COVID-19, Dana White turned to Jorge Masvidal to replace the Brazilian against Kamaru Usman, and Masvidal duly stepped in by accepting the offer. Meanwhile, ‘The Gamebred’ has flown to Abu Dhabi in a chartered flight but surprised a bunch of his fans by making a stop in Rome to grab some pizza before touching base in Yas Island. Jorge Masvidal revealed the same on social media earlier this week.
