Jorge Masvidal Strips Naked To Make Weight For UFC 251 Fight Against Kamaru Usman

Jorge Masvidal stripped naked to make the championship limit for his welterweight title fight against Kamaru Usman.

The blockbuster clash between Usman and Masvidal is official for UFC 251 after both fighters successfully hit the 170lbs mark on Friday.

Defending champion Usman tipped the scales at 170lbs ahead of the second defense of his UFC title.

BMF champion Masvidal also made weight for his first UFC title bout, weighing in at 170lbs through the help of the towel.

Speaking on ESPN First Take with Stephen A. Smith and Domonique Foxworth, Masvidal spoke about his tough weight cut: "Yeah I got 20 pounds to go. I'm taking the fight on 6 days notice."

The 35-year old is no stranger to intense weight-cuts and confirmed he must get down to 170lbs in a extremely short window - which perplexed host Smith, who asked him: "You gotta lose 20 pounds in 6 days?"

The Miami fighter replied: "Yes sir when they made the fight official I was 191 pounds. So Friday, I gotta lose that weight."
