Kamaru Usman continues campaign for UFC clash with Khamzat Chimaev, lobbies Dana White for fight

Kamaru Usman is on a mission to get his hands on the Swedish destroyer Khamzat Chiamev, according to Dana White at the press conference following the Dern vs Hill fight night in the UFC Apex.

It wouldn’t be the first time Kamaru Usman has called for the match-up against Chimaev, who struggled to make the welterweight limit the last time we seen him attempt to cut to 170lbs. He told Brett Okamoto of ESPN that he thought the fight could be made, and now it would appear the fighter is set on making it happen.
