Kamaru Usman has said that he was willing to jump up two weight classes to fight for a second UFC title to prove his pound-for-pound No.1 status.
The UFC welterweight champion is considered the best fighter in the world, and fans have wanted to see him jump up in weight to challenge for a second belt.
But given his close friendship with Israel Adesanya, who holds the belt at middleweight, he said he was planning on instead skipping the 185lb division and going straight to light heavyweight.
