Kamaru Usman sees himself as big of a threat as Khamzat Chimaev.
Usman (20-3 MMA, 15-2 UFC) will step in on less than two weeks’ notice in a middleweight bout against Chimaev (12-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC 294 co-main event at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. The main card airs on pay-per-view at a special time of 2 p.m. ET following prelims on ESPN+.
Chimaev has yet to lose in his professional MMA career, but former UFC welterweight champion Usman intends on matching him wherever the fight goes.
