Reigning Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight champion Kamaru Usman will once against put his strap on the line against top contender Jorge Masvidal, this time in the UFC 261 pay-per-view (PPV) main event going down TONIGHT (Sat., April 24, 2021) inside VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida.
Masvidal (35-14) will get a full training camp to battle for the 170-pound belt, as opposed to the six days notice he received when Gilbert Burns was benched with coronavirus and forced to withdraw. “Gamebred” has remained on the sidelines ever since, whereas Usman (18-1) returned to smash the since-recovered “Durinho” at UFC 258.
