Kamaru Usman convinced he could beat Islam Makhachev: 'I'm telling you guys'

Islam Makhachev set a new UFC record for most consecutive victories by successfully defending his welterweight title against Ian Machado Garry at UFC 330 in Philadelphia. Former champion Kamaru Usman (21-5 MMA) has publicly stated his belief that he possesses the right skillset to defeat Makhachev, arguing that 'styles make fights' in his favor. Usman had previously campaigned for a shot at Makhachev but was passed over, instead fighting Dricus Du Plessis at middleweight at UFC Fight Night 281, a bout he lost.
