SAO PAULO – In his active pursuit of welterweight contender Demian Maia , it seems like Kamaru Usman rubbed another 170-pounder the wrong way. While Maia (24-6 MMA, 18-6 UFC) stuck to some subtle twitter shade in light of the callouts, Sergio Moraes (11-2-1 MMA, 5-1-1 UFC) was a little less discrete in showing his dissatisfaction with fellow UFC Fight Fight 100 winner Usman (9-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) – who was, incidentally, sitting next to him at Saturday’s post-fight news conference. Asked whether “the guy on his right” could be his next opponent, Moraes didn’t answer directly, but brought up that it was Usman who once had to drop out of a previously scheduled bout between them. “I have Demian as an example,” Moraes said.
