UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman took to Instagram recently to post a piece of fan art that displayed all of the opponents he’s vanquished during a long, undefeated run through the promotion.
The cemetery scene was littered with gravestones carrying the names of fighters Usman has already faced and defeated including Colby Covington, Jorge Masvidal, Gilbert Burns and Leon Edwards. One name not featured on that grim look back at Usman’s dominant reign over the division was former two-time title contender Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson.
A constant threat at 170 pounds, Thompson is currently the highest-ranked fighter according to the UFC who hasn’t faced Usman yet and he’s hoping to change that by earning a title shot in his next bout against Burns on July 10.
