Jorge Masvidal felt rewarded for stepping in on less than a week’s notice to fight Kamaru Usman . Masvidal faced then-UFC welterweight champion Usman on just six days’ notice at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in the UFC 251 main event in Abu Dhabi. Masvidal replaced Gilbert Burns, who was forced out after catching COVID. Considering that Masvidal said he made $16,000 for his Strikeforce lightweight title fight in 2011, making millions against Usman was fulfilling – even though he lost.
