Kamaru Usman, former UFC welterweight champion, once again spoke about the possibility of a fight against the current promotion champion in this weight class, Islam Makhachev.
“Islam — a phenomenal champion, if we’re talking about his achievements. But we know that styles make fights. I believe I have the most challenging style for him right now. And I think I’m the best test for him.
Let’s be honest, Islam is very talented, but in the last fight, everything looked easy because of former champion Jack Della Maddalena, as he had a gap, and that’s exactly where I am strong. It’s a great fight, I like Islam, but I believe I will take the title,” Usman said in an interview with Eurosport.
