It seems like Jorge Masvidal is gunning for UFC welterweight champ Kamaru Usman instead of Conor McGregor.
Both Masvidal and Usman started talking trash to each other while at Super Bowl Miami media event and had to be separated from each other.
During the exchange Usman, who has an 11 fight UFC winning streak, was heard yelling “you’re talking tough” while Masvidal responded by saying “you got a cast on, bitch. You’re lucky. That’s the only reason why nothing is happening.”

The Usman-Masvidal beef comes a week after Masvidal’s agent took to Twitter to claim that the fight wasn’t happening because Usman is injured.
Looks like usman is out indefinitely with another injury. Conor is ready to go. Jorge is ready to go. Interim title for 170?
