Everyone is looking for love and it\u2019s no different for UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman, who hopes to be on the next season of \u201cThe Bachelor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Usman recently defended the UFC welterweight title with a fifth-round TKO finish over Colby Covington in the main event of UFC 245<\/a>. It was one of the best fights of the year and improved Usman\u2019s MMA record to 16-1, including a perfect 11-0 mark inside the Octagon.<\/p>\n

Speaking to TMZ Sports<\/a>, Usman says that even though he had an incredible 2019 where he won the UFC welterweight title from Tyron Woodley in a dominant showing at UFC 235 and defended it over his rival Covington, he\u2019s expecting an even bigger 2020. That includes both his fights inside the Octagon and also his ventures outside of it, including a potential appearance on \u201cThe Bachelor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Usman says he\u2019s serious about going on the show and he\u2019s hoping the producers of the show call him after his recent win over Covington.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m still waiting, I\u2019m still waiting for them and they still haven\u2019t called me. Hopefully, they were watching this weekend and they decide, hey you know what, we need to pull the trigger on this,\u201d Usman said.<\/p>\n

While it would be fun to see Usman on \u201cThe Bachelor,\u201d MMA fans would probably rather see him focus his 2020 entirely on defending his belt. Usman has only fought once in the last nine months due to injuries, so if he\u2019s healthy next year hopefully he is able to step into the Octagon and defend his belt at least a couple of times.<\/p>\n

Of course, being on a TV show would likely hinder the chances of that happening, but after the war that Usman just had with Covington, he deserves a break to rest up.<\/p>\n

Would you watch \u201cThe Bachelor\u201d if Kamaru Usman was on it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
