Kamaru Usman may have vaulted himself into the title picture last weekend, but there’s one last contender he wouldn’t mind taking out on his way to the top.
Usman’s dominant display against former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos at “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 28 finale prompted Ultimate Fighting Championship Dana White to suggest it could be him rather than former interim titleholder Colby Covington who gets the next shot at 170-pound champ Tyron Woodley.
Usman, who is 13-0 in his mixed martial arts career, was a recent guest on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show and said while it would be good to challenge Woodley for the title but he sees a bout against the outspoken Covington as a bigger fight as he believes people from all over the world want to see “Chaos” beaten up.
