"Islam Makhachev says he wants to fight Kamaru Usman next since it would be the toughest fight in the division for him 👀 The media doesnt believe in this fight but in my opinion Usman would steamroll through each of these up-and-comers like Morales Prates Those guys havent been checked yet. I think Usman would be the hardest fight for me. (via @RedCorner_MMA)"
