Chael Sonnen explains how Kamaru Usman could receive UFC world title shot

MMA analyst Chael Sonnen has explained how Kamaru Usman could end up with another UFC championship opportunity.

In case you’ve forgotten, Kamaru Usman is one of the greatest welterweights of all time. He had a phenomenal run during his prime in the UFC, serving as the champion at 170 pounds for over three years. Unfortunately for him, his reign came to an end at the hands of Leon Edwards just over two years ago.

Since that night, he’s been attempting to build himself back up. Alas, he hasn’t been able to do so, leaving many to wonder where he stands in the division.

For some, he has done enough to get another shot at the belt, even with Shavkat Rakhmonov in the picture. In the mind of Chael Sonnen, there’s a very clear route forward for ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’.
