Usman, who was attending the NBA event with Ali Abdelaziz, his manager, last fought at UFC 268 when he fought Colby Covington and made his fifth title defence successful via unanimous decision.

With that said, the welterweight division is coming off with some fresh blood for the future as well. Khamzat Chimaev, who’s 4-0 in UFC has finished all his fights whilst getting hit only twice. 3 of his four finishes come within the first round and is now heading to fight a former title challenger in Gilbert Burns. Alongside Chimaev, there’s Shavkat Rakhmonov, who’s 3-0 in the UFC, 15-0 overall and have all the fights finished. Who do you think is next for Usman if he surpasses Edwards and defends the title for the sixth time?
