On Saturday, Kamaru Usman made the first successful defense of his UFC welterweight title, stopping rival Colby Covington in the fifth round of the main event at UFC 245. It was an impressive showing from Usman and one that finally lets him move past Covington and onto the business of the rest of the 170 pound division. But who will be next for the current champion?
In the immediate aftermath of UFC 245, Usman threw out Leon Edwards as a potential opponent and most fans assumed Jorge Masvidal will be next in line for Usman, but “The Nigerian Nightmare” has another idea, or perhaps, a dream.
