‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ Kamaru Usman is reeling from his second consecutive loss, this time at the hands of Leon Edwards who put an end to his unbeaten streak in the UFC. Adding fuel to the fire, UFC frontman Dana White appears keen on pitting the reigning welterweight champion against Colby Covington next, despite the fans’ uproar over the decision.

Amidst all of this, it seems that Usman has an opponent in mind and wants White to take it into consideration as well. Recently, the former welterweight champion has expressed his desire to go head-to-head with the undefeated Khamzat Chimaev. Both Usman and Chimaev are currently without opponents and have no upcoming fights announced.

This news has certainly caught the fans’ attention, with many offering their varied insights on the matter.
