For every fist that welterweight champion Kamaru Usman burrowed into his challenger’s ribcage, for every shoulder that he hammered into ‘Gamebred’s jaw, for every cynical stamp, Masvidal’s face lit up. See, Masvidal is used to having his back against the wall, and while he might have spent more time with his back against the fence than was ideal in Saturday’s UFC 251 main event, the promotion’s ‘BMF’ seemed to enjoy every moment of it.
