Kamaru Usman thinks the path to a blockbuster clash with Dricus du Plessis is clear.
After coming up short in his last three outings, the ‘Nigerian Nightmare’ returns to the Octagon this Saturday night for a high-stakes showdown with surging welterweight contender Joaquin Buckley at UFC Atlanta.
Despite his recent inactivity and a string of losses, Usman is potentially one impressive performance away from being right back in the title picture. But it’s not reclaiming the 170-pound title he’s concerned with.
