Jorge Masvidal was quick to respond to Kamaru Usman.
Former UFC title contender and “BFM” champion Masvidal (35-14 MMA, 12-7 UFC) went on social media on Sunday to shoot Usman (18-1 MMA, 13-0 UFC) , who defended his UFC belt welterweight at UFC 258 on Saturday, stopping Gilbert Burns for TKO in the third round of the main event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
After the fight, Usman had a lot to say about Masvidal, whom he defeated by unanimous decision in a grudge match at UFC 251 in July.
“This time I will put him in a coffin,” Usman told reporters at the post-fight press conference. “He does not want this fight. He doesn’t want that fight. I guarantee you you don’t want this fight. I wouldn’t say it if I didn’t want to. Have I already lied here? Did I lie to you about something? Nothing. I said what I wanted to do, and that’s what I’ll do. We’ll see if it materializes. “
Masvidal accepted UFC 251 with Usman short-term, replacing Burns, who had tested positive for COVID-19. Masvidal was the original opponent for Usman, but Burns intervened when negotiations failed.
Usman wants to drive Masvidal away at no excuse, he said, but “Gamebred” questions the ability to deliver Usman Twitter):

Masvidal has not fought since losing to Usman. It’s uncertain if this rematch will come to fruition for both fighters, but UFC president Dana White seemed open to the possible rematch at the UFC 258 press conference after the fight.
