UFC President Dana White has confirmed Kamaru Usman will fight for the welterweight title at UFC 235 in March, and it remains to be seen whether he'll face champion Tyron Woodley or someone else.
Earlier this month, Usman took to social media to share a photo of a bout agreement, challenging Woodley:

Per MMAJunkie's John Morgan, White confirmed a title fight will be happening, although there was no mention of Woodley.
