Jorge Masvidal apologizes to ESPN’s analyst, Stephen A. Smith while mocking the welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman.

Recently Stephen A Smith received a ton of backlash from the MMA fans for criticizing Donald Cerrone. After Conor McGregor defeated Cowboy in 40 seconds, Stephen A. made some remarks that were not appreciated by the fans. Besides that, a video of him surfaced on the internet hitting the pads which were the center of mockery for the fans.

Well, Jorge Masvidal recently shared a video of the welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman hitting the pads. And according to the street Jesus, Usman’s pad work is worse than Stephen’s pad work.

Usman and Masvidal have been trading jabs on social media and media appearances for a meaningful period now. At the media day for the super bowl, things got heated between these two welterweight elites as they came face to face, which resulted in a verbal confrontation.

Luckily Usman and Masvidal won’t have to wait too long to settle the rivalry inside the UFC octagon. UFC president, Dana White recently announced that Usman will defend his title against Masvidal in July on international fight week.

Jorge Masvidal has an excellent takedown defense, and he can grapple with some of the best as seen in his fight with Demian Maia. However, Usman will have the upper hands on the ground. But when it comes to striking things might get interesting between these two.

Colby Covington was not a knockout artist who can set traps and land the finishing blow. However, Jorge Masvidal is one of the finest minds in the game when it comes to striking. And he does not get credited enough for his precision and power.

But will that be enough to knock down one of the greatest welterweights this organization has ever seen? It’s going to be a tough night for Usman if he decides to strike with Masvidal without a doubt. However, Usman’s wrestling along with his effective striking will give him an edge over Masvidal in the fight.
