Would you be able to envision what may occur if Jorge Masvidal and Kamaru Usman ran into one another with no security close by before their UFC 251 conflict Saturday?
Indeed, it nearly happened not long ago while the two men were at the contender inn in Las Vegas preceding their takeoffs for Abu Dhabi. As Episode 1 of the UFC's "Implanted" arrangement appeared, they verged on running into one another by the lifts when Masvidal was strolling into one similarly as Usman was leaving the other.
It showed up, from the video, that Usman investigated and perceived the man strolling into the lift was Masvidal, yet Masvidal was neglectful as he was involved on his telephone.

"I didn't think about it until they indicated me the video, and that was truly (exclamation) trippy, man," Masvidal said on "SportsCenter" on Tuesday night. "That was somewhat strange, in light of the fact that I have extraordinary peripherals, yet I coincidentally looked directly at my telephone, and I had quite recently gotten my eyes enlarged, also, so I had those out of control glasses on. So I truly couldn't see that well and, man, it simply occurred. …
"The greater piece of me wishes I had run into him. Simply had a 'welcome, how are you' type thing, you know? Not much."
Considering the warmed quarrel that Masvidal and Usman had during Super Bowl week, you'd make some hard memories persuading me this would've brought about only a "welcome, how are you" type thing.
It's most likely better along these lines.
