Kamaru Usman, after defeating Joaquin Buckley, dismissed any interest in a rematch with Belal Muhammad, stating he is focused on bigger challenges in the welterweight division. Following his victory, Muhammad congratulated Usman and hinted at a future encounter, but Usman responded dismissively. The rivalry escalated during a podcast, though Usman seems more focused on regaining his championship title rather than settling scores with Muhammad. He highlighted the entertainment aspect of UFC and aims for a high-profile fight against the winner of Jack Della Maddalena vs. Islam Makhachev.
"Let's be honest, I'm the biggest in the division. This is about entertainment. The UFC is an entertainment company. You want to make the biggest fight."
"It's been a while not just with getting back in here but getting back in the win column. I battled a lot of things just to get here."
