UFC 294: Kamaru Usman loses epic clash against Chimaev

Khamzat Chimaev managed to pull off a victory against the former welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman, in a thrilling co-main event in Abu Dhabi on Saturday night

Though Chimaev prevailed in the long run, Usman served him arguably his toughest challenge yet.

The story of this epic showdown took a surprising twist as Usman stepped into the Octagon on short notice after Chimaev’s original opponent, Paulo Costa, was forced to withdraw due to a shoulder injury.
