Jorge Masvidal is foreshadowing a third meeting with Kamaru Usman for the welterweight title.
After dropping a unanimous decision on less than a week’s notice to Usman at UFC 251 in Abu Dhabi, Masvidal will get his chance at redemption with a full training camp when they headline UFC 261 April 24 at the sold out VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla.
“Gamebred” expects to leave the building Saturday night with another championship belt to sit beside the “BMF title” on the mantle, and then run it back with “The Nigerian Nightmare” to settle the score once and for all.
