UFC: Jorge Masvidal mocks ‘pillow hands’ Kamaru Usman’s stand-up – ‘we’re not on same playing field’
- Masvidal says Colby Covington only got his jaw broken by Usman because he’s ‘made of glass’
- ‘That man [Usman] could never look me in the eyes and say I would stand with you’
Jorge Masvidal has taken another swipe at Kamaru Usman and the pair continue to goad each other ahead of a likely 2020 showdown.
UFC welterweight champion Usman riled Masvidal by pretending not to know who he is after successfully defending his title against Colby Covington at UFC 245 last month – a fight “Gamebred” wasn’t impressed by.
“Pillow hands both of them,” Masvidal told a press conference in Las Vegas. “I know for a lot of you, the end result is this guy [Covington] got his jaw broken. But he got his jaw broken because he’s made out of glass.
“Usman doesn’t hit and that’s indicated in his record. I think he has two stoppages, that was his second one. I give him props – on the biggest night of his life he pulled off his second KO and that’s awesome.
“But if you’re asking me from technical standpoint, we’re not in the same playing field when it comes to stand-up. And he knows it.
