The New Promo For Kamaru Usman vs. Jorge Masvidal is a Must-See

The UFC is well accustomed to working on the fly, and following the short-notice change to Saturday’s headliner, the promotion’s already shared out a new promo.

Now does that mean it’s not good? No. No, it doesn’t.

Check out the new promo for Kamaru Usman vs. Jorge Masvidal

As you’ve almost certainly heard by now, Jorge Masvidal has been tapped to fight welterweight champ Kamaru Usman at UFC 251. The late change has been made on account of Gilbert Burns testing positive for COVID-19.

Well, for anyone who isn’t excited to see Masvidal throw hands with Usman at UFC 251, the promo below could very well change that. Not only does the video feature some of the fighter’s best moments in the Octagon, it outlines why the two have formed quite the rivalry in recent months.
