Heavily linked with an interim title fight return at UFC 310 next month against Shavkat Rakhmonov, ex-champion, Kamaru Usman remains coy on the chances of his short-notice appearance at the event in December, claiming he was open to any money fights at any weight next.
Usman, who retains the number two rank in the welterweight pile, has been sidelined for over a year, most recently taking on the unbeaten, Khamzat Chimaev in the co-main event of UFC 294 in October of last year, dropping a controversial majority decision loss.
Suffering his third consecutive defeat in the process, Kamaru Usman had dropped a pair of championship fight defeats to now-fellow former champion, Leon Edwards in the pair’s subsequent rematch and rubber-match.
