Kamaru Usman isn’t hating on Jorge Masvidal’s recent success. But he also thinks it might be a little premature to call “Gamebred” an elite welterweight who’s ready to win the title.
The reigning UFC welterweight champ is currently preparing for his first title defense on Dec. 14 against Colby Covington at UFC 245. Last weekend, he sat cageside for UFC 244, where Masvidal dispatched Nate Diaz by third-round TKO following a doctor’s stoppage.
The win marked three in a row for Masvidal, who stopped Darren Till earlier this year and then recorded the fastest knockout in UFC history against Ben Askren.
