It didn’t take long for the UFC to release some promotional material for the welterweight title bout between Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal.

Dana White shared a video hyping the new UFC 251 headliner via Twitter on Sunday. While both sides have agreed to terms for the bout, Usman and Masvidal must pass a COVID-19 test in Las Vegas before the fight can be truly official. Masvidal stepped up on short notice after Gilbert Burns tested positive for COVID-19 late last week.

UFC 251 takes place at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi on Saturday and features two other championship contests, as Alexander Volkanovski will defend the featherweight crown against Max Holloway, while Petr Yan and Jose Aldo lock horns for the vacant bantamweight strap.
