Kamaru Usman is eager for his UFC return – but not until he’s healthy. Although Usman (20-4 MMA, 15-3 UFC) hasn’t competed since a short-notice majority decision loss to middleweight contender Khamzat Chimaev in October 2023, his name has been in the headlines plenty of times. Usman has recently been linked to a fight with Shavkat Rakhmonov, accused of turning down Ian Machado Garry, and called out by Joaquin Buckley.
