Jorge Masvidal is headed to Yas Island in Abu Dhabi to throw hands with Kamaru Usman on Saturday, and a new poster for UFC 251 is out as a result.

New poster features Masvidal

A few days ago, it was revealed that Gilbert Burns has tested positive for COVID-19, and as a result, he’s out of the main event fight with Usman. Not long after, it was reported that Masvidal was the front-runner to be the replacement, and since then, ‘Gamebred’s” signed up for the fight.

As a result, the new poster below has been dropped.
