Usman rubbishes Adesanya fight rumours
UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman recently stated his stance on a potential fight against middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya, asserting that he had no interest in competing against his fellow Nigerian.
Usman was recently seen facing off with former UFC light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz backstage at UFC 276.
He previously revealed plans to skip the middleweight division and make the move directly to light heavyweight to compete for the 205 lbs strap.
While in conversation with ESPN MMA’s Brett Okamoto, ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ confirmed these claims.
