While many fans likely place former two-weight champion, Georges St-Pierre atop their respective lists as the greatest welterweight fighter to ever grace the Octagon, UFC CEO, Dana White has claimed it’s “undeniable” ex-champion, Kamaru Usman is the greatest of all time.
Usman, a former undisputed welterweight champion and prior pound-for-pound number one, has been sidelined since he co-headlined UFC 294 back in October, suffering a controversial majority decision loss to unbeaten middleweight contender, Khamzat Chimaev in a short-notice clash in the pair’s co-main event.
And still retaining his rank as the number one ranked welterweight contender during is time away from the Octagon, Auchi native, Usman is riding a two-fight loss at 170 pounds – in the form of a blistering high-kick KO loss to Leon Edwards, and a trilogy rubber match decision loss last March in the UK.
