Kamaru Usman, the former UFC welterweight champion, talked about his relationships with Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev.

“I love Islam. In fact, we haven't had the opportunity to train together. I want to show the world that I am still the best in the world.

We have never trained together, but we are good friends. I also never trained with Khabib. I am just very close with these guys,” Usman said in an interview for The Schmo YouTube channel.
