He will break the record for consecutive lightweight title defenses in Bellator.
That is pretty significant, considering Islam just did the same in the UFC this past weekend.

Chandler and Will Brooks both have 2 defenses.

I am rooting for Usman.

I honestly don't think the UFC are that interested.
As long as they have Islam they won't care about him. Also figure that, given how disastrous PFLator has been so far, Usman will most likely be free by the time Islam retires.

PFL is finally reaching a breaking point, only a matter of time before they die. Honestly surprised they stuck around for as long as they did.

Islam and Khabib have spoken about Usman and the plan is once Islam moves up or retires he's leaving 155 for Usman.
 
Won't join the UFC, at least not yet. He re signed for PFL. Actually, PFL has a more competitive welterweight division than the UFC and Shamil Musaev is P4P the best welterweight on earth. He could move up to welterweight. If he stays at lighweight, PFL has less to offer in this division, but others new challenges should emerge, and a fight against AJ McKee is always interesting. Plus the money is good. He can improve his record and make financial freedom out of fighting.

Huges is training hard with wrestlers for this fight, I hope he remains undefeated. Glory to Usman !

yeah he was never coming to UFC at this time, looks like he signed a new two year deal so its smart he's still young and two years isnt that long. Who knows where PFL is in two years. I think if he continues to win UFC will be interested but right now you have Islam who is better and dominating and if you're that team unless Islam moves full time to WW you cant have both of them in LW div at the same time.
 
Obviously the UFC would be interested, but Usman is getting PAID in the PFL. He's was the most pushed fighter in Bellator over the last few years.

I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Dude seems not to like Usman I always see him badmouthing him.

Usman is not Khabib level entertainment, but he's a good watch. Great fight tonight.

I’ll have to watch more of Usman’s material but he’s been given an 8.5/10 on my spreadsheet.

Impressed.

He just bores me a little bit and I think he takes some shine off his teammate Amru Magomedov who looks more talented than him to me (though he needs to prove it against better guys).

That fight wasn't boring though, so credit to him for that.
