UFC president Dana White wasted little time promoting the newest addition to the UFC 251 card.
White shared a video to hype up Jorge Masvidal's encounter with Kamaru Usman.
Usman was originally slated to face Gilbert Burns on Saturday at UFC's "Fight Island" in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. However, MMA Junkie's Mike Bohn reported Burns tested positive for COVID-19 and had to be removed from the event.
ESPN's Ariel Helwani reported Sunday that Masvidal was sliding in as Burns' replacement. According to Helwani, Usman and Masvidal will be stationed at a hotel in Las Vegas to undergo coronavirus testing.
