Former undisputed welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman has confirmed his imminent return to the UFC in coming months on social media, just days after he ripped the entire division he remains in — in a bid to snap a hiatus dating back to over a year.
Usman, a former undisputed welterweight titleholder and pound-for-pound number one ranked fighter on the promotion’s books, has yet to fight since October, 2023, where he made an impromptu middleweight debut on short-notice against the unbeaten, Khamzat Chimaev — dropping a controversial majority decision loss.
And yet to return to action since, Auchi native, Usman remains the current number three ranked contender at welterweight, and earlier this week, hit out at other contenders at 170lbs chasing a grudge fight with him.
