“Absolutely. I think that with a finish on Buckley this weekend, I am the following for this one,” said Usman, before explaining his justification.

“If you really look at the division and you look at the landscape of the place where we are with the UFC and everyone, I don’t want to ring a certain type, but I think that for the search for the biggest name and the biggest fight in this division, I think it’s me.”

But, the first things first … Usman beat Buckley on Saturday.
