UFC champion Kamaru Usman warned he could be beaten by two title challengers

UFC champion Kamaru Usman has been warned that potential challengers Khamzat Chimaev and Leon Edwards are capable of beating him and stealing his 170lb crown.

Usman has yet to appear since outpointing leading ranked contender Colby Covington in a thrilling rematch late last year. British star Edwards is expected to be the next challenger later this summer when he has made a full recovery from hand surgery.

UFC legend Georges St-Pierre has hailed Usman's phenomenal form since becoming champion, but believes it is harder to stay on top with contenders chasing world glory. He told MMA News : “I believe there’s a lot of guys that can beat Usman. I do believe personally Usman is the best right now in the division but that doesn’t mean he is invincible. He needs to always stay on top of the game.
