Before Super Bowl altercation, Jorge Masvidal sent warning to Kamaru Usman: ‘I’m going to embarrass you’

Before getting into a verbal altercation at Super Bowl media day on Wednesday in Miami, Jorge Masvidal sent a message to reigning 170-pound champion Kamaru Usman.

“He said it in an interview, he gets amped up, (and) he gets very excited when guys talk trash,” Masvidal said during an appearance on the Jim Rome show, which was taping live at the gathering. “This is directly for Usman — I’m going to embarrass you from start to finish. I’m going to say it now so when it gets replayed 10 years from now, I’ll tell you I told you so.
