Kamaru Usman defeated his former teammate Gilbert Burns, stopping the Brazilian by strikes in the main event of UFC 258 this past weekend. In his post-fight interview, Usman called out his former opponent Jorge Masvidal for a fight, vowing to better his performance this term against the Miami native.

Now both the top welterweights have taken to social media to trade words at each other. Usman had a meeting with the UFC President Dana White and after that, he took to Twitter to post a cryptic message seemingly directed towards ‘Gamebred’. It didn’t take Masvidal too long to notice it and respond.

‘I’m feeling generous,‘ wrote Usman. TO which Masvidal responded, ‘You feeling generous and I’m feeling gooned out. I’m taking everything. What’s yours is mine. #supernecessary.’ ‘The Nigerian Nightmare also posted photos of his meeting with Dana White captioning it as ‘Big Boy Business Being Done with the Bossman’.

Usman and Masvidal fought at UFC 251 as ‘Gamebred’ stepped up on a 6-day notice and traveled to Abu Dhabi to save the first pay-per-view main event of UFC Fight Island. Despite all those struggles, Masvidal survived the full 5-rounds, putting his supreme endurance on display.

But ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ said he wants to rematch the veteran star as he would put ‘Gamebred’ in a ‘coffin’ with proper preparation. Masvidal didn’t take those claims lightly and issued his response.

It would be interesting to see an eventual rematch between the two.

Kamaru Usman vs Jorge Masvidal 2: Would it be any different?

Masvidal is an exceptional fighter and a true veteran of the game. However, Usman looks invincible with his current form. But with a full camp and better conditioning, ‘Gamebred’ is more than capable of pulling off an upset. He certainly possesses the power to knock anybody out cold and has an extremely underrated grappling prowess too.

But Usman is a beast in his own right and will look to extend his record of unbeaten run in the UFC welterweight division regardless of the opponent.

What did you make of the social media back and forth between ‘The Nigerian Nightmare‘ and ‘Gamebred’? Should they rematch next?
