Then Gilbert Burns took the center stage and made his claim for the title shot and the UFC gave it to him. However, Burns tested positive for COVID-19 and thus Jorge Masvidal finally replaced him to take on the champion, Kamaru Usman.

Kamaru Usman gives his thoughts on stardom and Jorge Masvidal

Kamaru Usman weighed in on the situation while answering media questions. The Nigerian Nightmare said that fighters do have to rely on opponents to draw attention to fights. However, Kamaru Usman then said that a few did manage to break this rule.

He then spoke about Masvidal being a potential big draw. Kamaru Usman said that a few fighters like Mike Tyson and Conor McGregor were stars big enough to change the narrative. Kamaru Usman also said that Gamebred hoped to achieve that level of stardom.

The confidence Kamaru Usman is maintaining makes it look as if he is sure he will get the win and the Masvidal hype. This confidence should be fun to watch in action.
