UFC welterweight contender Jorge Masvidal<\/a> has claimed that Kamaru Usman didn’t sign their bout agreement for a title fight later this year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Masvidal is widely considered to be the number one contender for the UFC Welterweight Championship after an insane 3-0 run in 2019 with wins over Darren Till, Ben Askren and Nate Diaz.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It appeared as if the stars were aligning for him to challenge “The Nigerian Nightmare” for the belt, but according to Masvidal himself, Usman didn’t sign on the dotted line.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cHe never signed a bout agreement. The UFC knew what we wanted – they went to him. He didn\u2019t sign a bout<\/a> agreement. There was no further discussions. He didn\u2019t sign the bout agreement so therefore they didn\u2019t even talk to me. I\u2019m the one that draws you and sells you, people are buying the fight to watch me. They don\u2019t care about him, they already got me on board. They know that if they get him to sign, they\u2019re gonna compensate me and they\u2019re gonna take care of me. His ass didn\u2019t sign the paper on any of those dates, and when he had the chance, when he for real had the chance and he was getting ready for it in November – it was supposed to be him and that other fragile dude in November, right? What happened? Why didn\u2019t they scrap it out? How did me and Nate, out of nowhere, come out? How did that happen? Because he said no to me. When they called him and said \u2018do you wanna fight Jorge Masvidal in six weeks\u2019 he said no. Three hours later he called back and said \u2018you know what, I think I might take it\u2019. Too bad, Nate had already stepped up to the plate and said let\u2019s go.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

After indicating that he believes Usman is all talk, \u201cGamebred\u201d made quite the declaration.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cIt\u2019s gonna happen, man, I just, I\u2019m gonna dictate when it\u2019s gonna happen and not him.\u201d<\/p>\r\n
