Kamaru Usman may not be getting the credit from fans for his approach to the fight game, or taking the UFC 251 main event fight with Jorge Masvidal. That’s just fine with him.
Usman’s originally scheduled opponent for the event was his teammate, Gilbert Burns before a positive COVID-19 test lead to a short notice switch up. Now, “The Nigerian Nightmare” is happy to give the people what they want in his second title defense.
There’s certainly more heat between he and Masvidal, which includes an incident during Super Bowl week where the two were separated on radio row.
