Masvidal will likely lose on short notice but probably got paid big and that’s what was more important to him. If he loses they set up rematch with full length camp.

I’m happy @USMAN84kg for a replacement opponent and I’m also heartbroken for @GilbertDurinho he still #1 contender

Why don’t they just let masvidal and usman fight in Vegas since they’re both already here and there’s no fans anyway ‍♂️

Usman, only cuz Masvidal didn’t have a real camp. It’s gonna be a lot harder than people think though. Masvidal is a junkyard dog man. He’s gonna make it filthy and fun AF.
