Former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman of Nigeria has expressed his desire to fight the winner of the bout between Australian Jack Della Maddalena and Russian Islam Makhachev.
İdman.biz reports that the fight will take place on November 15 at UFC 322 in New York.
"If Jack defends his title against Islam, then who other than me should solidify his status as the champion of the new generation? He'll need to fight the biggest name in the division, the former leader of the UFC pound-for-pound best fighters rankings. And that, obviously, is me.
Of course, if Islam wins, then we'll have to organize a clash between the leaders of the P4P rankings. Frankly, I'm not worried. I've done my job and shown everyone what they wanted to see. I've proven it," Usman said.
