Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal aren’t currently booked to fight each other, but the tension is building between the two welterweight stars.
Usman and Masvidal recently engaged in a brief altercation that was caught on camera during a Super Bowl media day event. The welterweight champion approached Masvidal as both fighters did interviews on radio row and shouted at the Miami native.
“Do something,” Usman said. “That’s all I hear you talking. Do something. You come up talking. Do something.”
Officials held both fighters back to prevent the incident from getting physical as Masvidal fired back at the champ while blowing kisses in his direction.
“You got a cast on, b–h,” Masvidal said. “I ain’t going to take advantage of you like that. You got a cast on b–h. You lucky. That’s the only reason nothing’s happening.”

Usman is wearing a cast on his left hand as he recovers from an injury suffered in his victory over Colby Covington in the UFC 245 main event on Dec. 14. Masvidal is coming off a victory over Nate Diaz at UFC 244 that earned him the “BMF” title on Nov. 2.
After the altercation, Usman took to Twitter to taunt “Gamebred.”
