During an interview with ESPN’s Ariel Helwani, Kamaru Usman said that although Masvidal brings more eyes to the sport, the former has the belt that everyone is chasing after.
The UFC welterweight champion added that he is currently lapping up the rest of the welterweight division and Masvidal is the first guy he is about to lap.
The Nigerian Nightmare also added that he doesn’t want to take anything away from Masvidal’s work in the sport. Kamaru Usman claimed that being the realist he is, he remains ‘absolutely proud’ of Gamebred’s contributions to Mixed Martial Arts. However, Usman reiterated that he has the coveted belt being chased by everybody.
