Jorge Masvidal is confident he will not only beat but finish Kamaru Usman at UFC 261. Both the fighters faced each other at UFC 251 in July on Fight Island. Masvidal prepared to enter the ring on six day’s notice to fight Usman for the welterweight title. Unfortunately for “Gamebred”, the fight did not go his way as he suffered a decision loss.
They both wanted a rematch and seven months later it became a reality after the champ, Kamaru Usman called out Jorge to fight him again. Now ahead of UFC 261, Jorge is extremely confident that he will triumph over Usman. He promises the victory against Kamaru and says the fight will be violent.
Masvidal said, “I want you to know everybody watching, ain’t nothing changed. I’m still that thug motherf****r out to get heads. God bless everyone, don’t miss the fight, don’t blink because it’s going to be violent.”

The fight is a rematch of their July 2020 matchup at UFC 251, when Usman defended his belt via a unanimous decision victory. That fight marks Masvidal’s most recent bout. In an interview, Jorge expressed his thoughts on what’s going to happen inside the ring.
He said, “Instead of investing all my energy on running through the desert to sweat and make weight, all my energy is focused on breaking Usman’s face. I’m going to give all I can to break his f–king face.”
Usman’s goal for this upcoming match is to retain the belt and ensure that he beats Masvidal after he had a full camp and more time to adequately prepare.
