Media Kamaru Usman on Chimaev: "I'll be waiting" once he gets to the top

Instead of saying he’ll fight him anytime, he says he’ll fight him once he gets to the top… In essence he’s giving himself time before actually having to accept that fight. If Khamzat destroys Burns, give him the title shot.
 
If Chimaev beats Giblert Burns I absolutely see the UFC making Chimaev vs Usman.
I mean that's WHY they've got him fighting Burns. It's "get past him....and you got your title-shot".
Leon first. Gotta do what's right. Leon first.

Khamzat/Burns should happen April 9.

Usman/Leon should happen in June.
 
Chimaev will definitely be his next opponent, unless Burns surprises everyone.
 
He has some new threats to keep him at 170 but money talks as he said. So he does not fight with his brother unless it is for money. Haha sounds bad but he is trying to make the most he can in that short time he has so I understand.

I think with Hazmat around the corner he might want to think of who he wants to match with that will make him the most money since he made it this far. I am not saying Hazmat wins but he is a risk unlike others. Usman may still win but Usman should be picking his most profitable fights now.

His is 34 turning 35, most have till 37 before they start to change with age...not all but still its about 2 from now. 2 years to make wise decisions and get paid well before UFC starts to turn on him for the next champ.
 
Yea right... I think Usman makes moves before Khamzat reaches him.

Especially if Khamzat destroys every opponent on the way to the title shot.
