Kamaru Usman is not receptive to 170-pound fighters who say that The Nigerian Nightmare is too afraid to make a comeback and compete in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight division.

With ambitious competitors like Shakvat Rakhmonov and Jack Della Maddalena, among others, the division is among the finest in the UFC.

Despite being out of action, the former welterweight champion is still ranked third among the 170 pounds class.

Usman gave the warning on his Pound 4 Pound podcast expressing views about a return to the octagon.

He said, “For those of you who keep thinking I’m not fighting because I’m choosing not to fight, like all these stupid fighters running their mouths.

“No one is scared of any of you. I’ve been at the top of the division, pound-for-pound, with an iron fist spanking all of y’all for awhile.”

“When I am healthy, I will get in there. I want to fight. I can’t wait to fight to whoop one of y’all.
