Jorge Masvidal and Kamaru Usman have reacted to their altercation at Wednesdays' SuperBowl media day.
The UFC welterweights came across one another in Miami and traded words as spectators pulled them apart.
Welterweight champion Usman took to Twitter to address the controversy and said:

"Lil b*tch brought his camera to try and flex and act hard. I was dolo and If you wanted to do something you could have tried but you didn't lol #youplayedyourself #cloutchaser #tookanotherL."
'The Nigerian Nightmare' discussed the altercation with ESPN and played it down.
"You know, it's a fight business," Usman said. "When you're the champion, everybody's going to try to take their shot, want their 10, 15 seconds of fame. It happens. A little something [to] talk. That's all it is."
Masvidal adopted his usual trash-talking technique and unloaded when discussing the 32-year-old.

He told Ariel Helwani:
"I don't like this dude. If I could have altercations with him everyday, I wouldn't mind. ... He's not stupid [to touch me]. He plays a tough guy on TV but he's not stupid."
"What is that guy going to do in a scenario like that? Huge my legs? Come on, man. You know that guy can't punch through a f*cking wet paper bag so what is he going to do in a scenario like that?

The BMF champ went on to call his potential opponent a 'punk' and told him he would 'f**k him up'.
"He's a punk. He did a lot of screaming and stuff and shouting. ... Just relax. You don't got to be loud about it. I said it very calmly and right to his face - 'I'm going to f*ck you up.'
"There was no need for him to overreact like that. He's just sensitive, man. He doesn't like the truth."
Do you think Masvidal and Usman will square off in the future?
