Kamaru Usman is a problem. If you didn’t already know that, he screamed it to the world after he destroyed Sergio Morales in the first round at fight Night 116. He’s on a 10-fight win streak, six of them were UFC fights. He was breifly in talks to fight Rafael dos Anjos<\/a> in what would be his biggest fight so far, but eventually was passed up for Robbie Lawler. He shrugged it off and said Mike Perry would also be a good fight<\/a>, but Perry (who’s ranked four spots under Usman) got matched up with ninth-ranked\u00a0Santiago Ponzinibbio. So, where is Usman’s shot at someone that will get him closer to a title shot? In his words, they’re avoiding him because they know they’ll lose.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think from the fan perspective, I think I\u2019m slept on. As far as me not getting my hands on a ranked opponent [it\u2019s because] they\u2019re smart enough to know that they have no chance. I dominate these guys from start to finish. And not just that, I can talk, I can sell, and I can fight. How can you not promote the guy?”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I respect guys like Usman, Perry, and Condit that obviously want, and should want, to be the champ. Their approach is the old fashion way! https:\/\/t.co\/U9uVzUKhTh<\/a><\/p>\n
