[autotag]Jorge Masvidal[/autotag] is certainly doing his part to promote the brewing fight with UFC welterweight champion [autotag]Kamaru Usman[/autotag].
Masvidal is projected face Usman next, but with the coronavirus pandemic, it’s been difficult for the UFC to finalize a date.
“Gamebred” has made it clear that he thinks Usman is fake, but he took things a step further by putting together a video compilation, including clips of Usman’s college wrestling days when he used to go by Marty, a name that Ben Askren brought back to the surface last year.
Usman’s history with Masvidal’s gym, American Top Team, dates back to Season 21 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” which pit Usman’s former gym, the “Blackzilians”against ATT in a competition. Usman ended up winning the show, defeating Haydar Hassan in the finale. He has not lost since then, going 10-0 and becoming the UFC champ.
