UFC president Dana White just hailed Kamaru Usman as the greatest welterweight ever.
G.O.A.T. status previously belonged to UFC legend Georges St-Pierre who ruled the welterweight throne for five years and defended his title nine times.
Although Usman has quite a way to go before he surpasses St-Pierre in title defenses (“The Nigerian Nightmare” has defended his belt five times), White believes the former has faced the tougher competition. He’s also virtually cleared out the division.
“Leon Edwards is the number one guy in the world to take on Usman. He’s a super talented guy, that whole division is stacked with incredible talent.
