Records: Usman (20-3-0) | Chimaev (12-0-0)
Usman, the former champ, is looking to rebound after getting drummed in 2 straight losses against Leon Edwards for the strap. He lost via KO/TKO to Edwards at UFC 278, received another shot, and fought to a much closer majority decision loss at UFC 286. At 36 years old, the sun is starting to set on the “Nigerian Nightmare”, but facing off against Chimaev will be no easy feat.
