Kamaru Usman: I’m going to put that final nail in the coffin for Jorge Masvidal at UFC 261

Kamaru Usman wants to leave no doubt as to who the real ‘baddest motherf-cker’ in the UFC is when he defends his welterweight title against Jorge Masvidal at UFC 261, in a replay of their first championship matchup at UFC 251.

Usman won the first fight via unanimous decision, but ‘Gamebred’ claims that was only because he accepted the fight on less than a week’s notice and is adamant things will play out differently in the rematch.

Usman, however, wants to shut Masvidal up for good and potentially end his career on April 24.

“I want to put the nail in that coffin once and for all,” Usman told TMZ Sports in a recent interview.
