Check out a three-minute promo video for the Kamaru Usman vs. Jorge Masvidal welterweight title fight.
UFC 251 goes down in just six days, but there have been some major changes. Gilbert Burns has been removed from the card due to a positive COVID-19 test, and has been replaced by Jorge Masvidal, pending negative COVID tests for both him and champ Kamaru Usman.
