Jorge Masvidal has launched another attack on UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman, and vowed to ‘break his face’ when the two meet in the Octagon.
Masvidal and Usman got into a heated altercation at the Super Bowl’s Radio Row in Miami recently after going back and forth for a number of weeks.
UFC president Dana White has since confirmed the two will face each other in the future, with International Fight Week in July targeted for the date.

‘Take His Head Off’
And Masvidal has now gone after his rival again, and says beating up Usman would in some ways be more satisfying than taking UFC gold from him.
“I’d break his face”, Masvidal said (via MMA Junkie).
“I’d f*** his a** up.”
“The title definitely signifies something,”
“But more than that, beating Usman in a really bad way would be better for me in a way.”
“He’s got a couple victories against a couple of my teammates, so I definitely got to represent for ATT there and take his head off.”

‘He’s a Punk’
Masvidal also addressed his recent altercation with the ‘Nigerian Nightmare’ in Miami.
Dana White recently slammed the pair and labelled them ‘neanderthals’ after they allowed their bad blood to spill into the public eye.
But ‘Gamebred’ said there was never a risk of any violence, and believes it was necessary for him to show he wouldn’t be intimidated by Usman.
“Nothing was going to happen there,” he continued.
“I’m not going to touch somebody that’s already incapacitated and f***ed.”
“He’s a punk and I just wanted to tell him to his face, ‘I’m going to f*** you up.’”
“I don’t know what he got so upset about.”
“I just wanted to tell him the truth that I’m going to f*** you up when we finally fight.”
“He always says he wants people to keep that same energy and say it to his face, that’s exactly what I did.”

‘Head Case’
Masvidal continued to lay into his adversary, saying the Nightmare has multiple personalities, and he’s not a fan of any of them.
He continued: “He’s got like 38 personalities,”
“Every week I keep finding a new one.”
“I don’t like any of them so far.”
“I’ve known this guy for a while and he wasn’t that guy before.”
“He was asking me for pictures and handshakes back in the day.”
“Really his name is Kamarudeen.”
“It’s not even Kamaru.”
“He actually shortened up his real birth name.”
“This guy is just a head case of head cases.”
The pair were already engaged in a bitter feud before the Miami dust-up, and seems like nothing has changed.
With a July showdown all but confirmed, we could be in for a real blockbuster come International Fight Week.
