Former UFC Welterweight Champion Kamaru Usman admitted that he still considers himself the best fighter in the division.

“I dealt with the defeat the way it needed to be done. I am the champion. I still consider myself a champion. What can you even talk about here? Everyone knows who is the best welterweight in the world.

Leon did a good job, he landed a good shot at the right moment. But he and I know perfectly well who is the best welterweight on the planet. He understands this very well,” Edwards said in an interview with TMZ Sports.
