Kamaru Usman

Welterweight champion
Kamaru Usman and BMF titlist Jorge Masvidal have continued their on-going beef,
this time exchanging words on social media.

The pair are believed to be in negotiations to meet at international fight week. However discussions have been on-going for quite some time, making some people question exactly what is the hold up.

One fan took to Twitter and said it sounded like ‘Gamebred’ didn’t really want the fight. This is something Masvidal’s manager Abe Kawa took exception to, he fired back saying not only will his fighter take the fight, he’ll inflict a bad loss on Usman.

Yet said he wants usman
in July. You are reaching and actually embarrassing yourself. You’ve gone on
for months now bashing jorge. We get it, you are an usman fan. Just stop acting
like usman is going to survive. He will lose bad come July.”

The
170lb champion saw the comment from Kawa and fired straight back, seemingly
threatening to slap the MMA manager, he said.

“Keep
talking shit Abe and you already know it’s gonna be #SlapTeam part 2. And you know what the fuck I’m talking about.”

Masvidal
wasn’t happy to see his manager being threatened and quickly responded to tell
Usman to shut up and sign the contract so they can finally fight.

“Shut
the fuck up you beta bitch. You address civilians like that? You won’t touch
anyone I’m cool with. Sign the contract already and I’ll see you in July. Stfu
until then”

Check out the Twitter exchange below…

This is the latest flash point in this on-going beef. The two fighters previously met at Super Bowl weekend in Miami, Florida. After exchanging insults, the two nearly came to blows and had to be separated from fighting.

Jon Jones Manager: Fight With Israel Adesanya Not ‘Realistic Anytime Soon’

There is no point in discussing a Jon Jones vs. Israel Adesanya fight according to Abraham Kawa.

Many in the combat sports world have been itching to see the two champions face each other for a while now. However, Adesanya wants to clean out the middleweight division first before facing Jones as he envisions a fight in 2021.

And as long as “The Last Stylebender” isn’t actively campaigning to face Jones in the present, the fight isn’t realistic according to the latter’s manager.

“Let’s be real, if Dana comes out and says, I want Izzy to fight Jon, he’s doing Izzy a disservice,” Kawa told Submission Radio. “It will never happen. It would have to happen when Izzy is really pushing, ‘I really want to fight Jon’. I just don’t think it’s a fight that’s realistic anytime soon, at all. So talking about it is almost, it’s just in our minds.”

For now, Adesanya is set to face another Kawa client in Yoel Romero at UFC 248 on March 7. But even if he gets past who many believe to be the scariest fighter at middleweight, a fight with Jones is still not worth discussing.

“I’d say Izzy’s probably a little nuts just for calling out Yoel,” Kawa added. “I’m gonna leave it at that.

“I’m not gonna get into the Jon Jones/Izzy thing, cause I don’t think it’s… I come from a real estate background. And in the real estate world, whenever you get excited and you have a deal, one of my mentors used to tell me all the time, ‘it’s a mind deal.’ And I was like, ‘what’s a mind deal? What does that mean?’ He goes, ‘it’s only a deal in your mind, it’s not a deal anywhere else.’ So, in this case, I would say it’s a mind deal. There’s no deal anywhere.”
