Kamaru Usman said he's planning a two-division jump to light heavyweight after defending the welterweight championship against Leon Edwards at UFC 278 on Saturday night.
Usman told TMZ Sports he wants to become a multi-division champion but isn't interested in a face-off with his friend Israel Adesanya, the middleweight title-holder, so he's instead eyeing a showdown with Jiri Prochazka for the light heavyweight belt.
"A lot of people think I'm joking when I say [I wanna move up]. I wanted to skip—skip middleweight and I want the light heavyweight belt because I wanna be a two-division champion," Usman said.
