Kamaru Usman has called out Jorge Masvidal for supposedly not wanting to fight with the main event of UFC 249 in jeopardy.

The UFC welterweight champion accused Masvidal of being a "fraud" and a "phony" in a video posted on Instagram (h/t MMA Fighting'sDamon Martin):

“Last week, obviously, I had an inclination that the Khabib [Nurmagomedov] and Tony [Ferguson] fight was in jeopardy because Khabib had gone out of the country thinking that the fight was going to take place out of the country, due to the fact that we have closed all our commissions here,” Usman explained.
