Seemingly reinvigorated amid the new title reign of the surging, Belal Muhammad, former welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman’s own reign atop the 170 pound division has been called into significant question by the new gold holder, amid links to a title grudge fight next.
Muhammad, the newly-minted undisputed welterweight champion, managed to scoop the divisional crown in the main event of UFC 304 last month in Manchester, landing an impressive unanimous decision win over common-foe, Leon Edwards in the pair’s title grudge rematch.
As for Usman, the Auchi veteran suffered his third consecutive loss at UFC 294 back in October, making a brief cameo in a middleweight debut, losing a controversial majority decision to the unbeaten, Khamzat Chimaev.
