Ben Askren thinks the wrong man was awarded the title shot against UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman . Usman is set to rematch Jorge Masvidal in the main event of UFC 261 on April 24 at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla. Having already beat the top-four ranked fighters in his division, a rematch was likely for Usman. Before stopping Gilbert Burns at UFC 258, Usman finished Colby Covington in the fifth round at UFC 245, which was followed by a lopsided unanimous decision win over Masvidal at UFC 251.
