It’s difficult to imagine Kamaru Usman or Justin Gaethje getting any better, but according to “The Highlight” that’s exactly what’s happening ahead of their next fights.
Usman is set for the second defense of his welterweight title when he meets white hot challenger Gilbert Burns at UFC 251 on July 11, while Gaethje is expected to challenge unbeaten lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov in September. The two are apparently putting in work up in Colorado and Gaethje shared a clip of some spirited sparring on his Instagram.
In the clip, Gaethje’s coach Trevor Wittman can be seen smiling in the background as Usman and Gaethje rifle body shots at each other before the buzzer sounds.
