UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman ‘not chasing GSP’ for GOAT status

Kamaru Usman and Georges St-Pierre are two very different fighters with two very different legacies.

Usman has defended his welterweight title five times to St-Pierre’s nine but has arguably faced tougher competition along the way.

The former has surpassed GSP’s overall winning streak at welterweight but insists that he is not looking to overtake ‘Rush’ as welterweight GOAT.

“I hate the way that it’s being put that I’m chasing GSP,” Usman said at the UFC 268 weigh-in show prior to his unanimous decision victory over Colby Covington at Madison Square Garden, New York on Saturday (h/t Sportskeeda).
