Usman Eyes Return to UFC Welterweight Title

Former UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman has expressed his desire to compete for the division’s title again, saying his recent performances prove he still belongs in the championship mix.

“The Nigerian Nightmare” ended a three-fight slump with a unanimous decision victory in his latest bout, a result he believes demonstrates that he can still challenge the top fighters at 170 lbs.

With the current welterweight landscape shifting, Usman has put his name forward as a contender for the next title fight, insisting he is ready and deserving of another chance to reclaim the championship he once held.

Beyond immediate title ambitions, Usman has expressed a goal of ending his MMA career with multiple championships, aiming to join the select group of fighters who have held belts in more than one weight class.

While the path back to the top is competitive, with new contenders rising in the rankings, Usman is determined to remain active and seek high-stakes fights that could position him for a return to the title picture.
