Kamaru Usman's stepping up on 10 days notice to fight Khmzat Chimaev across the world at UFC 294 after Paulo Costa was pulled from the event with a staph infection
Ex-MLB Star Ian Kinsler Wears Israel Jersey, Throws Out First Pitch At ALCSco-main event of UFC 294 -- going down October 21 on Fight Island in Abu Dhabi -- until Paulo came down with Staph infection.
The MMA star released a short statement explaining the situation ..."I am hospitalized and had to do a second surgery yesterday. According to doctors, a third surgery will be necessary on Friday. So, I will not be medically cleared to fight on October 21st."Of course, Usman is a legend, a future Hall of Famer, and one of the best welterweights to ever step foot in a cage.
Before the two fight skid, the Nigerian Nightmare won an astonishing 19 fights in a row. A win over Borz would presumably catapult Usman into the title picture in the welterweight and middleweight divisions.
