Veteran color-commentator, Joe Rogan has claimed former undisputed welterweight titleholder, Kamaru Usman should be next in line to challenge newly-minted UFC gold holder, Belal Muhammad — alluding to the fact that the promotion even owes the Auchi native another chance to reclaim gold.
Usman, who retains the number two rank at the welterweight limit despite riding a three-fight losing run, has been sidelined since he featured at the middleweight limit in a short-notice UFC 294 co-main event back in October.
And suffering a third consecutive loss in an impromptu divisional debut, former pound-for-pound number one, Kamaru Usman dropped a controversial majority decision defeat to the unbeaten, Khamzat Chimaev, which followed a prior rematch and subsequent rubber-match title fight loss to former champion, Leon Edwards.
