Jorge Masvidal calls out Kamaru Usman for UFC 249
Despite the current uncertainty surrounding UFC 249, UFC President Dana White has confirmed that his promotion is definitely moving forward with the pay-per-view, with or without reigning UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, who is currently stuck in Russia.
With the UFC reportedly looking for a replacement for Tony Ferguson for the main event of UFC 249 and despite Justin Gaethje being tipped as the favorite to replace 'The Eagle', as of now, nothing has been confirmed by the promotion.
In the meantime, UFC Welterweight sensation Jorge Masvidal has offered to step in at the PPV, as 'Gamebred' has decided to call out current UFC Welterweight Champion Kamaru Usman for a fight on 18th April.

However, regardless of what the eventual decision turns out to be, inaugural BMF Champion Jorge Masvidal has called out Kamaru Usman once again and is willing to face 'The Nigerian Nightmare' for his 170-pound title.
Here is what Masvidal tweeted out in his latest callout of Usman:
