Kamaru Usman Claims He’s Islam Makhachev’s Toughest Test, Also Targets Khamzat Chimaev

Usman believes his wrestling-heavy style troubles Makhachev most. “I’m the most difficult style for him right now… the best test,” the former UFC welterweight champion said, citing gaps that helped Islam dominate a past champ. Usman also wants a full-camp rematch with Chimaev after their short-notice UFC 294 loss, saying, “I would approach that fight a little different.”
