Kamaru Usman calls out Demian Maia after UFC Fight Night 100 win, vows to capture title like Conor McGregor did

There's no disputing that Kamaru Usman is one of the better grappling prospects to come through the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight division in a while. The 28-year-old fighter has compiled a 4-0 record since entering the promotion back in 2015, which includes a submission finish to win The Ultimate Fighter Season 21 tournament. But it may be Usman's recent three-round destruction of rising Brazilian tank Warlley Alves at UFC Fight Night 100 that has the mixed martial arts (MMA) world buzzing, and Usman more confident in his divisional approach by calling out top title threat Demian Maia after the win.
