Jorge Masvidal would like to offer his apologies to Stephen A. Smith on behalf of the MMA community after watching a video of Kamaru Usman in training.
ESPN analyst Smith posted a video of himself hitting pads that received heavy criticism, especially after recently bashing Donald Cerrone’s performance against Conor McGregor.
But Masvidal says the real concern should be with Usman’s striking, poking fun at the UFC welterweight champ, by posting a short clip of Usman hitting pads, where he appeared to be going through the motions in a light session.
Masvidal was far from impressed.
“I want to apologize to @stephenasmith on behalf of the MMA community. They had something to say about you but wtf is this?”
All signs are pointing to a showdown between Usman and Masvidal during International Fight Week, but an official announcement has yet to be made by UFC brass.
