Kamaru Usman vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov?!!? How awesome would that be?!
Kamaru says it would “absolutely” be the biggest fight in UFC history — but the champ isn’t holding his breath that it’ll happen.
Remember, Khabib (29-0) announced his retirement back in October 2020 after defeating Justin Gaethje — but later told Dana White he would consider a comeback if one of the top fighters showed him something “spectacular.”
Well, enter Usman … who’s been destroying the best fighters in the UFC’s welterweight division including wins over Jorge Masvidal, Colby Covington, Tyron Woodley, Gilbert Burns and more.
The question — is Khabib impressed enough to consider a comeback against the reigning welterweight champ?! Usman isn’t counting on it.
“I’ve lost faith in this one,” Usman tells TMZ Sports … “I think you have more of a chance at making Kamaru Usman and Georges St Pierre happen before Kamaru Usman and Khabib.”
We also asked about a possible matchup with Nick Diaz down the line … and Usman seems interested!
Bottom line is this … Usman wants all the smoke. Someone needs to step up.
