Jorge Masvidal has responded to Kamaru Usman after he said he would like to run things back.<\/p>\n
At UFC 251, Masvidal stepped up on a weeks’ notice to battle Usman for the welterweight title. “Gamebred” didn’t have a training camp and in the first round had some success. However, Usman used his wrestling and clinch to win the last four rounds and defend his title.<\/p>\n
Although Usman clearly won the fight, he revealed he had a broken nose in the fight and wants the rematch<\/a> to prove he can finish Masvidal.<\/p>\n \u201cI was unhappy because as much as I put into preparing for fights, I basically was just on autopilot that fight,\u201d Usman said to\u00a0ESPN<\/a> about Jorge Masvidal. \u201cA lot of things played a factor in that fight. I\u2019m way better than that. I have way more tools and skills to display than what I showed, because out there, I beat him with stuff I\u2019ve been doing for five years.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s me versus me out there,\u201d Usman continued about his win over Masvidal. \u201cSo, there\u2019s a potential of that fight happening again if he works himself there, but I want to do it again because I want to put an exclamation on it. I want to finish him. I want to impress myself.\u201d<\/p>\n Although Usman believes he would finish Jorge Masvidal in a rematch, \u201cGamebred\u201d has his doubts. Instead, Jorge believes if he even has a three-week camp he goes out there and finish the champ to become the new welterweight champion.<\/p>\n Showed up with a nose. Left with a broken nose. I get at least 3 weeks I take his head and the belt https:\/\/t.co\/lNJZqmFTkx<\/a><\/p>\n — Jorge Masvidal UFC (@GamebredFighter) February 2, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
