Kamaru Usman willing to move to middleweight under one condition

Kamaru Usman is riding quite the high after a successful title defense at UFC 258. He’s ‘cleaned’ out the division, hasn’t been beaten in close to a decade, and so now the conversation is shifting to whether or not he can make history.

There’s a lot on his docket. Right now a rematch with Jorge Masvidal is tentatively scheduled, along with tentative plans for both to be coaches on the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter. It seems to be something Usman actively wants, thanks to Rashad Evans of all people.

“Rashad winning The Ultimate Fighter - I did that,” he told ESPN (transcription via MMAFighting).
