Usman speaks out about potential fight with Rakhmonov

Former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman said he has no intention of avoiding a fight with undefeated Shavkat Rakhmonov.

"You know what I did after Abdel-Aziz turned down the fight with Rakhmonov? We accepted the fight with Chimaev on nine days notice. What do you mean by that? When I'm in the octagon, I don't care who's in front of me. Shavkat, Maddalena, Leon Edwards," Usman said on the Pound 4 Pound podcast.

Usman hasn't stepped into the octagon since last October, when he lost by split decision to Hamzat Chimaev.
