Kamaru Usman is ready to defend his UFC welterweight title in July. The problem, according to the reigning champion, is finding an opponent who is ready and willing to accept that opportunity.

Usman was expected to defend his belt against Jorge Masvidal during International Fight Week before the coronavirus pandemic changed the UFC’s plans. However, “The Nigerian Nightmare” is willing to change course and square off with Conor McGregor if “Gamebred” is unavailable.
