Former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman continues to take issue with fighters suggesting he ducked them.
Ian Machado Garry (15-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) recently said a potential fight with Usman (20-4 MMA, 15-3 UFC) was in discussion for Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 63 event in Tampa, Fla., before he wound up stepping in to face Shavkat Rakhmonov this past weekend at UFC 310. He lost the bout by unanimous decision.
Prior to UFC 310, Machado Garry went off on Usman, claiming that UFC brass told him the former longtime welterweight champion wants nothing to do with him.
