Jorge Masvidal is not going to insult anyone’s intelligence and pretend as if flying halfway around the world to accept a fight with UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman on six days’ notice is the ideal way to prepare for the biggest bout of your life. “Six days’ notice, how prepared could I be, you know?” Masvidal said during a UFC 251 virtual media day from Abu Dhabi on Thursday. “I’m as prepared as I need to be for Usman, but obviously it’s not a full training camp as if I had six weeks to prepare. I’d be different, my weight wouldn’t be this high. So I’m not going to say weight-wise I’m 100 percent. But everything else, my mind is ready, my heart is ready, my skill set is better than his any day of the week, so I just gotta go out and prove it.” Related Petr Yan defends Jose Aldo's title opportunity at UFC 251, jabs at Henry Cejudo UFC 251 pre-event facts: Is this the best title-fight triple header in UFC history?
