Kamaru Usman Believes Khamzat is ‘Struggling’ at Middleweight Amidst Pereira Callout

Ex-welterweight champion Usman thinks Khamzat’s Pereira call-outs signal weight-cut trouble at 185-lbs. ‘Khamzat potentially has outgrown the weight class ,’ he said, urging a move up where he can ‘make the weight’ and ‘capture title.’ Usman noted Chimaev is ‘a big guy’; if he wins up there, ‘that opens the door’ for Imavov at middleweight—and keeps Pereira (light-heavyweight 205-lbs) talk alive.
