Usman on loss to Chimeav
Speaking to ESPN after the fight, Usman said, “You drop two razor-thin ones to Leon (Edwards) and it’s been a while.
“You go years without losing, for a long, long time, by all the hard work. Then, you drop two close ones like that.
"You start to kind of question things and start to doubt yourself a little bit. You almost forget what it feels like.
"If anything I can say I’d take away from tonight, it’s that I need to trust myself more, trust my coaches, and we’ll be back.
)
“I think coming off the couch in 10 days and fighting a young, hungry bull like that, who’s big and strong and had a year-and-a-half to really grow into this weight class – and I didn’t.
"I didn’t trust my shape. I’m a championship fighter, and you can’t start slow like that.
)
"I say give me a couple extra rounds, I think the world knows what that result might be.”
Usman made his middleweight promotion debut at UFC 294 and is uncertain to stay in the division.
UFC president Dana White stated during the event that he's open to Usman competing in any weight class—whichever Usman prefers—even though the future is still unknown.
