Jorge Masvidal on Getting Knocked Out for the 1st Time Ever by Kamaru Usman (Part 7)

Watch Full Interview

--------

UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal reflected on his first-ever knockout loss, delivered by Kamaru Usman. Masvidal accepted the initial defeat at UFC 251, where he lost by unanimous decision. He admitted that Usman successfully neutralized him, and he agreed with the decision, stating that it was not his best performance. In their rematch at UFC 261, Masvidal had mixed feelings and faced unexpected events. Called in to replace the main event in Colombia, he accepted the fight against Usman despite knowing he needed time to recover from a medical procedure. Preparing for another wrestling-focused match, Masvidal was caught off guard when Usman switched tactics and delivered a powerful right-hand punch, resulting in Masvidal's first knockout loss. Despite the outcome, Masvidal still accepts the loss graciously, commending Usman's strategy while acknowledging the need for a different approach in preparation for future fights.
