It will still take clearing some legitimate hurdles to reach the finish line, but according to ESPN's Ariel Helwani, UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal have finished negotiations and agreed to terms for a last-minute bout to serve as the main event of Saturday's UFC 251 card in Abu Dhabi.
With the new UFC 251 main event now essentially being cleared on paper, both fighters will undergo COVID-19 testing in Las Vegas and immediately enter quarantine while awaiting the results. Should Usman and Masvidal both test negative, then they will be en route to Abu Dhabi as soon as possible from there.
Shortly after the news of the agreement broke, UFC president Dana White posted a hype video to Twitter which seemingly confirmed that he was able to secure the new blockbuster main event.
