‘BMF’ champ Jorge Masvidal and reigning welterweight champ Kamaru Usman got into a heated verbal altercation at the Super Bowl media day.
The UFC stars crossed paths in Miami, Florida at a media scrum for a huge NFL game on Sunday.
The welterweight pair, who is being linked to a potential Octagon fight, needed to be separated as they hurled verbal insults in a heated faceoff at Super Bowl LIV’s Radio Row.
“Do something!” the welterweight champ shouted on Masvidal as caught in a footage uploaded on Twitter by Andy Nesbitt.
“That’s all I hear you talking. Do something! You come up talking. Do something!”
‘Gamebred’ responded by saying “You got a cast on, b*tch, I ain’t going to take advantage of you like that.”
“You got a cast on b*tch. You lucky. That’s the only reason nothing’s happening.”

Personal Dislike
Masvidal has been vocal about his interest in dethroning the defending champion as a potential money fight with Conor McGregor is now out of the cards.
The ‘BMF’ champ shared he has personal dislike towards Usman after making comments that he doesn’t know who ‘Gamebred’ is.
“I’m moving on from that fight. This dude didn’t want the fight. I’m not here to bully.”
“I guess it’s Usman’s head. He sealed Usman’s fate now.”
“There is something about his face. I don’t like it, it doesn’t sit well with me. I don’t like his attitude either.”
“These little comments of ‘who?’ I have been doing this 16 f*cking years. I’m the fighter of the year, and I’m at your f*cking weight class and you’re going to be as corny and a petty-ass troll and say ‘who?’
“The dude ain’t go no personality. He has 17 different f*cking personalities but not one of them is made for TV.”
“So I want to f*ck his ass up.”
Next Opponent
Meanwhile, ‘The Nigerian Nightmare,’ who is currently recovering from injuries, has confirmed that Masvidal will be his opponent for his next title-defence.
“Give me a month and let this thing heal up. I can make a fist now,” Usman said.
“I’m cracking. They put out the guys, and let’s be honest, if you look at the division, I’ve beaten almost everybody there in the top 10.”
“It’s a matter of who they really want, what’s next. Dana (White) said they really want Jorge. Jorge is the next guy.”
Usman is coming off a technical knockout win against Colby Covington at UFC 245 headliner last December to retain his welterweight title while Masvidal cemented his status as one of the biggest stars in the UFC with three massive wins in 2019.
