Kamaru Usman to Khamzat Chimaev: ‘Cut the f*cking weight and come fight’

LAS VEGAS – Kamaru Usman is willing to fight Khamzat Chimaev – at welterweight.

Chimaev (12-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) and Usman have been on a collision course, potentially for the UFC 294 event in Abu Dhabi. However, with Chimaev missing weight big in his originally scheduled welterweight bout against Nate Diaz last September, Dana White said the UFC would be willing to book him vs. Usman if it took place at 185 pounds.

Usman (20-3 MMA, 15-2 UFC) likes the Chimaev fight, but the former welterweight champion says “Borz” needs to cut the weight and meet him at 170 pounds.
