Kamaru Usman told he would be "lit up" by Nick Diaz in UFC title fight

Kamaru Usman has been warned he would resort to wrestling after being "lit up" on the feet by Nick Diaz in a potential UFC title fight.

UFC welterweight champion Usman is pencilled in to fight Leon Edwards next, once his injured hand is fully healed. Former title challenger Diaz has insisted he only wants to fight again if a title is on the line, declaring that he could beat pound-for-pound No.1 Usman.

“If I’m going to fight, I want to fight for the title, I’m 38 years old. It’s a bigger fight and I think I’ll beat him [Usman], I would love it if they gave me a shot,” Diaz told TMZ about a potential fight with Usman.
