Thompson wasn’t eager on Usman wanting to combat Masvidal once more, while he understands why he could.
“(Masvidal) plainly dropped. I know it was small discover, but I just consider that Kamaru Usman is familiar with. It is clever for him, he knows he can conquer him for a superior pay working day, it’s a large title, there is beef there, so it makes feeling on his aspect,” Thompson explained to MMA Battling.
“As a supporter and as a fighter, and as somebody who has been at the top of the video game and trying to get title fights, it does not make feeling for that to happen. Battle anyone you haven’t fought but.
“You conquer fairly a great deal everybody other than me in the top rated-5. That’s it. Of system, you have got Michael Chiesa who is range six, he hasn’t fought Michael Chiesa either. But keep on heading down the line. You beat every person up listed here, who’s next? It is this man.”
Even though Usman fished for the Masvidal bout, he has due to the fact pulled it back a bit. He recently took to social media to say he’s not emotion “generous any more. Any person can get it.”
