Morning Report: Kamaru Usman looking for another quick turnaround, possibly interested in the winner of Leon Edwards-Nate Diaz

Fresh off his knockout win over Jorge Masvidal, UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman is looking to keep active in 2021.

Two weeks ago at UFC 261 Usman ended his rivalry with Masvidal when he blasted “Gamebred” with a right hand just one minute into the second round. In the lead up to the fight, Usman made a big deal out of wanting to get “satisfaction” after what he felt was a lackluster performance in their first bout, a unanimous decision win for the champion. But leaving UFC 261 after delivering one of the best knockouts of the year, Usman has no such qualms anymore.
