After defeat to Kamaru Usman at UFC 251, Jorge Masvidal will have the opportunity to hate at UFC 261 on April 24.
At the first meeting, Masvidal did not have enough 1 week to prepare but could still play for 5 rounds with the Usman champion. That is why the UFC Organizing Committee reminded this American boxer to be remained immediately.
Jorge Masvidal is currently the owner of the BMF belt, this boxer expects to bring the UFC championship into his collection. During the answer on ESPN, Masvidal said it would immediately rematch the right if “The Nigerian Nightmare” received a defeat at UFC 261.
“If I win the next rematch, there will definitely be a third glove between me and Usman shortly after,” said Jorge Masvidal. “I will not accept the 1-1 draw with Usman.”
In the match at UFC 251, Jorge Masdival had to cut more than 9kg in just 6 days. This has greatly affected his physical strength. But in this rematch, “GameBred” had time to prepare more carefully.
“Currently, I just need to force about 4kg to be enough to play. I think this is one of the factors that determine the success in this match.”
Jorge Masvidal is 36 years old, the match on April 14 will be the 50th time he stepped into the MMA iron cage. Many people expect him to surprise Kamaru Usman and win the king of UFC.
