Making Sense of the UFC Welterweight Division

One of the most stacked weights in MMA is the UFC welterweight division. Although this should guarantee some of the best fights possible, getting these world-class fighters to actually face each other is proving to be difficult. The champion Kamaru Usman captured the belt in March, dominating former champion Tyron Woodley. A dominant force in his career, Usman is very much ‘the hunted’ at 170. ESPN‘s Ariel Helwani reported on Saturday that things go so bad attempting to book the champion, Kamaru Usman in a fight that the UFC debated stripping him of his title.
