Khabib Nurmagomedov and Kamaru Usman
UFC’s welterweight champion Kamaru Usman will take on the number one contender Colby Covington in a title rematch at the main event of UFC 268. This one is going to be the toughest test for Kamaru to this day, and he plans on doing things more flawlessly this time around.
Talking to a reporter from MMA Junkie, he said, “For me, the wrong that I want to right is in that fight, I fought with emotion. As much emotion I was willing to display is what I fought with, which is why I think I got hit quite a bit – but it was fun. I had fun. That lets you know that I got a little mad man in me too. I don’t mind getting hit.”
“I want to make it a little bit more flawless this time around. Now I’m in the business of pay-per-view. I don’t know if I want him that far back. Of course, I want to go out there and stop him, but I want him to quickly make his way back so I can stop him again for a little bit more money,” Usman said.
“Pound-for-pound best in the world,” Khabib Nurmagomedov believes in Kamaru Usman
Khabib Nurmagomedov is a long-time friend of Usman, and he wished him before his fight, he talked to him via video call, and their conversation was recorded on UFC Embedded. Here’s what “The Eagle” had to say to his brother.
“Really good to see you, brother. Please brother smash this guy and defend the belt. My energy with you, brother… Honestly, I really want him to smash this guy like he did the first time. Let’s go, Kamaru. Pound-for-pound best in the world. Kamaru Usman, Nigerian Nightmare, African Power. Let’s go, brother. I’m with you.”
Ever since Usman switched camps to train with Trevor Whittman, he completely changed his game for good, it will be worth watching how he performs against his toughest challenge.
