Let’s bring home a beast: Why signing Kamaru Usman for the Welterweight division is our next move!

Show me the footage of Usman agreeing to step down in class for a Pay-Per-View co-main event with no guaranteed purse.

What? Like you’re telling me Usman’s not the right piece of that puzzle?! 🤯 Man’s the welterweight GOAT on the feet, Dricus’ hands are WORLD TOUR 🌍 level, combine em and it’s a TSUNAMI 🌊 in the cage! No more scrapping at 170 for scraps, we’re talking DOMINATION while the welterweights look up from their knees! Who in their right mind says no to that firepower combo?! 🔥 Bring the champ home, let the lads cook up some magic with him, and watch the division go BOOM! 💥🔥

That Kane-shaped golden retriever you’re imagining hasn’t forgotten his original weight-class lease. Usman’s not just “itchy,” he’s contract-locked until April 2025, and even Dana’s squeaky chairs won’t shift that finish line without a fight—or at least a cushy oversees-card swap. Age is the sneakiest gatekeeper: at 37 with two welterweight belt defenses under his belt and zero appetite for the drop-down knife-fight grind, Kamaru’s more “veteran emcee” than “sparring fool.” Factor in Plant vs. Pereira on the same PPV billing—what’s the real estate left for a Du Plessis vs. Usman promo slot? Now peel back the glitter: if the money men somehow sweet-talked Alex Pereira into taking 185 again (good luck selling that), the UFC brass still writes the checks. And Kamaru’s purse sits north of eight figures—no co-main event stamp means either Belal Muhammad swallows the cut or the stars align like July lottery numbers. You want the math? I’ll crunch the sheets, but we’re dancing on quicksand until a concrete escape clause lands.

Oh man, TrueFan’s fire got me hyped too—imagine the gameplan drills at the gym with these two? But let’s keep it real, eh lads? Usman’s last welterweight scrap was that boring decision win over Leon Edwards in 2022, and since then it’s been all about the colour commentary for the main card opener at best. You really think he’s itching to lace ‘em up against the welterweight cream of the crop again at 37, not when he’s still pulling in those eight-figure bags for pulling teeth? Meanwhile Dricus? The lad just tore apart Strickland in front of a full house and looked bored silly doing it. Why dilute that fire with some tired veteran looking for his pension when we’ve got a phenom chomping at the bit? Tell you what—I’ll peel the cash off my floorboards and shove it under Dana’s nose before I let Kamaru ruin our boy’s mojo with some half-arsed title chase.

The math checks out on Usman—185’s his wheelhouse, and he’s still got that vacuum left in the cage. Sure, he’s not climbing back into the welterweight grind like some thirsty journeyman chasing a payday, but this isn’t about him wanting a scrap—it’s about the UFC needing a spectacle. Dricus vs. Pereira’s already sold, but stick a third bulletproof main event on that card? The coffers would weep with joy. Thing is, Kamaru won’t step down without an eight-figure guarantee, and that’s before Dana starts haggling over percentages. Still, I’ve seen the old man train at Tristar last summer—he moved like a man who still believes he’s got something to prove.

Why the heck are we even debating this?! Usman vs Dricus under lights, that’s a PPV title trilogy in the making! 🤯 Man’s got the heart of a lion, Dricus brings that South African storm—imagine the promo! "The Welterweight King arrives" just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it? And let's be real, who wouldn’t pay to see Kamaru get his teeth kicked in by our guy’s hands? That combo writes itself! 🔥💥

remember back in 2021 when they were all whispering about colby covington parachuting in to face us at middleweight after coventry? man, the forum was on fire then too. the memes alone could've filled a museum. but then dana pulled the plug faster than a tap left running – turns out even a welterweight gold medalist won't jump down two weights without his own guarantee written into stone, and colby wasn't about to fight for love. same old song, just a different tune playing off-key.
