Considered one of the best fighters in recent UFC history, Usman, however, has a commitment to defend his belt again. In August, the welterweight champion faces Leon edwards, something remembered by the athlete in his publication.
“Before (facing Blachowicz), I have to fight the Englishman”, he concluded.
At the top of the up to 77kg category. Since 2019, Kamaru has impressed with assured and convincing performances. To date, the Nigerian has defended his belt five times.
Quoted by Usman, Blachowicz remains without a confirmed fight for his second challenge in the 2022 season. Willing to regain the light heavyweight title, lost to Glover Teixeira last year, the combatant sought a clash against Jiri Prochazka, new 'king' of the division.
