Khamzat Chimaev is unsure if Kamaru Usman returns to form after his loss to Leon Edwards.
The ‘Nigerian Nightmare’ was dethroned by ‘Rocky,’ who became the first fighter to finish Usman by KO with a head kick in the fifth round of their fight at UFC 278 this past August. The former UFC welterweight champion compared being knocked out to taking a ’20-minute nap,’ which has some, including Chimaev, wondering if he can recover by the time he returns to the Octagon.
“It was a crazy fight, good fight,” said Chimaev to Brett Okamoto of ESPN.
