Kamaru Usman

UFC Welterweight Champion Kamaru Usman once again admitted that he could move up to the light heavyweight division for a title fight.

“I'm still thinking about jumping over middleweight and winning the light heavyweight belt. I just think I can beat some of these guys. Some! I emphasize this before you pounce on me.

There are definitely some killers in this division and I respect that. But I think that some of the guys who were at the top, I could pass, ”Usman said at a press conference for the UFC 278 tournament.
