As the UFC’s reigning champion at 170 pounds, Kamaru Usman has his pick of challengers, and he’s not counting out one of the promotion’s most popular fighters.
On Tuesday, Nate Diaz tweeted out an incredulous reaction to the yet-to-be-booked rematch between Usman and Colby Covington, writing, “Who dis guy fighting next? Someone he already koed,” along with an emoji of a man facepalming.
Diaz is referring to the UFC 245 grudge match between Usman and Covington in December 2019 that Usman won by TKO with less than a minute remaining in the fight.
