Former incontroversial welterweight champion Beral Muhammad immediately called out to former title holder Kamal Usman, who is behind tonight’s successful return in the main event of UFC Atlanta.
Former champion and number one pound pound for promotional Usmann has been on the verge of two years since tonight’s action in Georgia, winning a unanimous jury victory over Streaking.
And then he put his first victory after a successful title rematch over Colby Covington, with Usman suffering a trio loss to Leon Edwards, and undefeated Kamza Chimeh suffering in a rare middleweight pairing.
Uthman has issued a massive warning to his peers for £170, seeking another title claim on his expected retirement tour tonight.
“Yeah, his knees, his knees. I was able to close the f*ck well and I was still able to do what I was doing,” Kamal Usman told Paul Felder in a postwar interview after the UFC Atlanta victory. “Listen to the rest of the welterweight division. I’ve been and will continue to be a f*cking boogeyman.”
The Chicago native turned his keen eye to tonight’s minutes between Usman and Buckley, tied up by a potential title eliminator along with the most generous former champion Muhammad.
