Kamaru Usman has come to the rescue, saving UFC 294’s pay-per-view (PPV) co-main event by stepping in for an injured Paulo Costa against Khamzat Chimaev.
It’s the second big fight to come together less than two weeks out from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and Usman is excited for it.
“The Nigerian Nightmare” had been campaigning for a bout against Chimaev for months. Only when their feet were to the fire did UFC acknowledge it was a match-up worth making.
