Jorge Masvidal had the opportunity to compete with the defending champion Kamaru Usman at UFC 251. Unfortunately, the victory belonged to the Nigerian boxer – Usman won with an overwhelming score and controlled the game with strong falls.
But it is worth mentioning that while Usman has a full training, Jorge Masvidal has only 6 days to prepare the radio, but he still goes all 5 rounds with Usman. Failure in this match did not make Masvidal overshadow but also made fans love him more.
Back to the rematch, Masvidal said that Usman was not scary in the striking standing segment:
“In fact, I have learned a lot from the first match. Usman punches is not very strong. He is the person who has the weakest punch I ever clashed. Poor Usman, he could not hurt anyone with such a punch.”
Although Jorge Masvidal said Usman had a weak punch, this Nigerian boxer had defeated Colby Covington twice and won TKO. And recently Usman won another TKO victory over Gilbert Burns with JAB.
Looking at the achievement table, Masdival has not had a match since the glove with Usman last July. Meanwhile Usman has a series of consecutive victories with 17 matches in professional MMA.
