Kamaru Usman, Jorge Masvidal get into altercation at Super Bowl media day

Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal might face off later this year, but the two welterweights nearly threw down ahead of the Super Bowl this weekend.

During a media day for Sunday’s big game in Miami, the reigning welterweight champion nearly came face to face with “Gamebred” while both fighters were in the middle of interviews.

Usman shouted at Masvidal as representatives from the UFC were standing between the fighters, holding them back so an actual fight didn’t break out on media row.

UFC champ Kamaru Usman and BMF champ Jorge Masvidal almost just went at it on Radio Row in Miami.
