UFC 261: Kamaru Usman vs Jorge Masvidal 2 Preview

Kamaru Usman is the reigning and undefeated champion of the UFC Welterweight division who added new levels of greatness to the Welterweight championship. In his recent title defense against Gilbert Burns at UFC 258, he surpassed the record of UFC legend Georges St Pierre for most wins in the Welterweight division.

They both faced each other almost eight months ago when Masvidal picked the fight on just 5 days’ notice and he lost the fight by unanimous decision of the judges in the end. Since then he has been using the excuse of a short notice fight, that’s why the champion wants to finish him once it for all.
