Jorge Masvidal revealed the damage he received from the foot stomps of Kamaru Usman during their fight at UFC 251.
Masvidal will be hoping to see the belt wrapped around his waist this weekend when he takes on Kamaru Usman in the main event of UFC 261.
It will be a proud moment in the BMF title holder’s 18 year old long career, if he can pull off an upset against the Nigerian Nightmare.
Masvidal will be going into the fight as a massive underdog, but will be drawing inspiration from his home crowd, Florida, as the event will be held at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida.
The last time the pair met, Usman eased to victory, winning via. unanimous decision. However, Masvidal had taken the fight on very short notice, due to Gilbert Burns pulling out at the last minute.
Masvidal gained the upper hand in the first round of their fight at UFC 251. But, Usman came back and put in a measured and composed performance in the next four rounds. And not to forget, he brought out his traditional foot stomps during the fight.
A regular part of Usman’s wrestling-heavy game are his foot stomps. He pretty much executed them throughout his fight against Masvidal.
In a recent interview with ESPN First Take, Masvidal claimed that Usman’s foot stomps did little to no damage during their fight at UFC 251:
“You know that toenail that’s next to your pinky nail? That’s the only thing he bruised on me. That’s the only thing that let people know that I was in a fight.”
Masvidal who is known for his appearance in Kimbo Slice’s street fights, recently launched his own website which showcases raw and uncensored content from the brutal world of backyard and underground fights.
Although a lot of it can be seen on YouTube, they get banned eventually due to excessive violence and gore.
The subscription to his website currently costs $4.99 per month.
