In the rare occurrence of a short-notice main event actually improving a card, Jorge Masvidal and Kamaru Usman will do battle to close out the loaded UFC 251 at "Fight Island" in Abu Dhabi.
The initial main event of Gilbert Burns and Kamaru Usman would have been an intriguing fight, but Masvidal's ascension to star status made this the more desirable fight after Burns was forced off the card following a positive COVID-19 test.
It's a great clash of Masvidal's highly entertaining brand of fighting and Usman's wrestling-heavy approach. Masvidal will be looking to spring a similar upset to his five-second knockout of Ben Askren.
