Manager backs Kamaru Usman to beat UFC light heavyweights Jiri Prochazka and Glover Teixeira

MMA manager Ali Abdelaziz is making the rounds on social media after claiming that UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman has what it takes to compete at light heavyweight.

Abdelaziz, who manages Usman at Dominance MMA, believes his client not only has what it takes to compete at 205 but that ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ is more than capable of winning gold at that weight class, too.

Abdelaziz commented that Usman could beat either Jiri Prochazka or Glover Teixeira after rewatching the UFC 275 main event where Prochazka submitted Teixeira in the fifth round to capture the light heavyweight title.
