Is Kamaru Usman fighting UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley next? If the other side of the bout agreement he posted on social media gets signed, he sure will. Usman (13-1 MMA, 9-0 UFC) has been campaigning for a title shot since he defeated ex-champ Rafael dos Anjos by one-sided decision at The Ultimate Fighter 28 Finale this past month. UFC President Dana White said the performance could help him jump the queue to fight Woodley (19-3-1 MMA, 9-2-1 UFC), and those comments may bear fruit. The obvious fight for the title at 170 pounds was thought to be Woodley vs. former interim champ Colby Covington (14-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC)
