Follow Us
Following the Super Bowl altercation between Jorge Masvidal and Kamaru Usman, it makes absolute sense that the UFC is keeping the duo apart ahead of the weekend. The company even sent both fighters to Abu Dhabi on different jets. ‘Gamebred’ has poked fun at the Welterweight Champion over his tweets of “flying private.” However, he expressed his disappointment and wishes he had been a split second late at the hotel lobby.
In a chat with ESPN MMA, the UFC BMF Champion says he wasn’t aware of being that close to ‘The Nigerian Nightmare.’ ‘Gamebred’ said, “I didn’t know about it till they showed me the video. And that was pretty f**king trippy man!… It was a little bit surreal cause I have great peripherals.”
In the video, the 3rd ranked Welterweight contender glances at his phone. Later fans see him with glasses just before he steps into the elevator.

He said, “I happened to just look right at my phone and got my eyes dilated as well. So I had those funky glasses on and I really couldn’t see that well and it just happened man.”
