Kamaru Usman chalks out potential UFC plan

Despite being on a three-fight losing streak in the UFC, Kamaru Usman has big plans. During a recent interview ahead of UFC Atlanta, Usman revealed that he plans to finish Joaquin Buckley this weekend, then wait for the winner of the Jack Della Maddalena vs. Islam Makhachev bout.

Usman wants to recapture the UFC welterweight title and then vacate it. Next, 'The Nigerian Nightmare' plans to march forward to middleweight to take on Khamzat Chimaev again or fight Dricus du Plessis.

In a clip reshared by MMA Fighting on X, Usman said:

"Finish Buckley this weekend and then wait for the winner of Islam and 'JDM', which is gonna be an incredible fight... Win that, and then go ahead and probably vacate. Go up, myself [versus] Dricus du Plessis if he is the champion, or Khamzat Chimaev too if Dricus is no longer the champion. If Dricus is the champion, we do that in the first card in Africa. I mean, that's another blockbuster."

He added:

"Then after that, now you are sitting with two belts, what do you do next? That's a long-term goal at the back of my mind."
