Jorge Masvidal has accepted the UFC 251 Welterweight title fight and saved the PPV’s main event. He stepped in at just above a week’s notice to replace Gilbert Burns. The Brazilian did not get clearance to board the plane after a positive coronavirus test. Now, as ‘Gamebred’ will be part of a championship fight he needs the scale to show 170 on Friday night to have a chance at claiming the belt. In a chat on ESPN First Take [https://youtu.be/KwFPxMwI71Q] with Stephen A. Smith and Dominique Foxworth, Masvidal spoke about the UFC pay debate. Furthermore, he revealed his plans for Kamaru Usman at Fight Island. Finally, he reiterated the fact that he has to undergo a monstrous weight cut by Friday. Jorge Masvidal [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Jorge-Masvidal.png] JORGE MASVIDAL REVEALS EXACTLY HOW MANY POUNDS HE HAS TO CUT ‘Gamebred’ said, “Yea I got 20 pounds to go. I’m taking the fight on 6 days notice.” He opines that this is not something he is unfamiliar with as a fighter. As per Masvidal, being a fighter means he has to compete and bring back the gold. However, the 20 pounds flummoxed Smith who clarified with the Welterweight fighter if he was talking about gaining or losing the pounds. Masvidal said, “Losing, losing. So when we finally made the deal…..” Here, Smith was shocked as he exclaimed, “You gotta lose 20 pounds in 6 days?” Masvidal responded, “Yes sir when they made the fight official I was a 191 pounds. So Friday, I gotta lose that weight.” On hearing this, Smith had a stunned look on his face whilst Foxworth had an expression that felt like awe. The former quizzed the BMF champ if he is worried about making such an alarming weight drop in such little time. Jorge Masvidal [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/jorge-masvidal-ufc-244-getty-1.jpg] In response, the 48-fight [https://www.espn.com/mma/fighter/history/_/id/2500857/jorge-masvidal] veteran said, “You should be worried if God wasn’t on my side. If I was just like a regular Joe you should be worried. But I’ve been doing this for a long time it won’t be the first time I have to cut a crazy amount of weight at short notice and like I said. God has my back I got no worries.” Jorge Masvidal is certainly upbeat ahead of getting money closer to his demands and having a shot at the title. What do you make of his confidence regarding the brutal weight cut process he has to put himself through? “He Wants To Fight Cause He’s A Fighter” – Daniel Cormier Opens Up On Jorge Masvidal’s New Deal [https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-251-news-he-wants-to-fight-cause-hes-a-fighter-daniel-cormier-open-up-on-jorge-masvidal-new-deal/]

Jorge Masvidal

Jorge Masvidal: Net Worth 2024, Record, Salary, and Endorsements UFC star Jorge Masvidal established himself as a fan favorite because of his shenanigans both inside and outside the Octagon. The outspoken welterweight burst into the scene after his exploits with a now-defunct Strikeforce. While the American fighter scrapped inside the UFC Octagon for over a decade, the year 2019 stands out for his memorable performances. Not only did he win the inaugural BMF title againstÂ Nate Diaz, but also bagged a title shot that he cashed in the next year. However, he failed in his two successive title shots againstÂ Kamaru UsmanÂ at UFC 251 and UFC 261, respectively. In addition, he built a reputation for taking a firm stance and valor. Currently, in the twilight years of his career, the fighter endeavors for another title opportunity in his last hurrah. As of March 2023, he is ranked #11 in the welterweight division. Jorge Masvidal: Net worth 2024 According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jorge Masvidal&#8217;s net worth in 2023 is $6 million.

<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Kamaru Usman 2023: Record, Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements</h2>
Kamarudeen Usman, better known as Kamaru Usman, migrated to the United States when he was eight years old. Usman started wrestling at a young age at Bowie High School in Arlington, Texas. He was known as "Marty" because his coach could not pronounce his name properly.

'The Nigerian Nightmare' earned the NCAA Division II All American title three times during his time with the University of Nebraska at Kearney. He was a two-time national finalist and <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://infohub.projecttopics.org/1910342-kamaru-usman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">became</a> the NCAA DII champion in 2010.

Usman made his MMA debut in 2012 and won his first match via a second-round TKO. Unfortunately, he lost his second bout via a rear-naked choke. Usman claims that he did not realize the importance of Jiu-Jitsu before this fight. As of October 2023, Usman sits at #1 in the UFC welterweight division <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://www.ufc.com/rankings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rankings</a>.
<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Kamaru Usman: UFC Career</h2>
After amassing a 5-1 record, Usman received the opportunity to be on The Ultimate Fighter: American Top Team vs. Blackzilians. He won both of his matches and then submitted Hayder Hassan to win the twenty-first season of TUF.

Usman continued racking up wins. He went on a nine-fight win streak in the UFC before facing off against <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tyron-woodley/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tyron Woodley</a> for the welterweight strap. Usman dominated Woodley to win the belt and then defended it four times.

In his first title defense against Colby Covington at UFC 245, Usman claimed a spectacular fifth-round TKO victory. Then, he defended his title for the second time against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jorge-masvidal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jorge Masvidal</a> at UFC 251, where he won via unanimous decision.

[caption id="attachment_609069" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-609069" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210406203714/GettyImages-1255678592.jpg" alt="Kamaru Usman" width="1920" height="1341" /> ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - JULY 12: Kamaru Usman of Nigeria battles Jorge Masvidal in their UFC welterweight championship fight during the UFC 251 event at Flash Forum on UFC Fight Island on July 12, 2020 on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

His third title defense was against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/gilbert-burns/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gilbert Burns</a> at UFC 258, where he claimed a magnificent third-round T/KO victory. His last fight was a rematch against Jorge Masvidal at UFC 261, where he claimed dominating second-round KO victory. Next, Usman successfully defended his title for the fifth time in another rematch at UFC 268 against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/colby-covington/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Colby Covington</a> on November 06, 2021.

'The Nigerian Nightmare' holds a record of <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="http://ufcstats.com/fighter-details/f1b2aa7853d1ed6e" target="_blank" rel="noopener">15-2</a> in his UFC career.
<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Kamaru Usman: Fighting Style</h2>
On his feet, Usman is not the best striker. However, when he mixes in his takedowns, his striking becomes dangerous. 'The Nigerian Nightmare' may not have a crowd-pleasing style, but he dominates his opponents with his superior wrestling. He has a strong clinch game.

He is also one of the strongest welterweights on the planet. Besides that, very few people can match his pace of fighting. Usman's chain wrestling style is nearly unstoppable.

Kamaru Usman 2023: Record, Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements Kamarudeen Usman, better known as Kamaru Usman, migrated to the United States when he was eight years old. Usman started wrestling at a young age at Bowie High School in Arlington, Texas. He was known as &#8220;Marty&#8221; because his coach could not pronounce his name properly. &#8216;The Nigerian Nightmare&#8217; earned the NCAA Division II All American title three times during his time with the University of Nebraska at Kearney. He was a two-time national finalist and became the NCAA DII champion in 2010. Usman made his MMA debut in 2012 and won his first match via a second-round TKO. Unfortunately, he lost his second bout via a rear-naked choke. Usman claims that he did not realize the importance of Jiu-Jitsu before this fight. As of October 2023, Usman sits at #1 in the UFC welterweight division rankings. Kamaru Usman: UFC Career After amassing a 5-1 record, Usman received the opportunity to be on The Ultimate Fighter: American Top Team vs. Blackzilians. He won both of his matches and then submitted Hayder Hassan to win the twenty-first season of TUF. Usman continued racking up wins. He went on a nine-fight win streak in the UFC before facing off against Tyron Woodley for the welterweight strap. Usman dominated Woodley to win the belt and then defended it four times.
