Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal first collided last year at UFC 251, with Usman coming out on top via unanimous decision (50–45, 50–45, 49–46). Despite that, the two have continued to trade words on social media and in public, with Masvidal claiming that he only lost at UFC 251 because he took the fight on short notice. In reply, Usman agreed to give the Gamebred a full training camp to prepare for their rematch, which is expected to be a cracker. Both the fighters are at their peak, with Masvidal looking to become champion for the first time and Usman looking to continue his dominant run.
