As reported by ‘MMA Junkie’, he said, “Nobody thinks Leon is the best right now. They think if they’re gonna fight Usman again, ‘Well, Usman was dominating him the whole time, he’s probably going to take him down, wrestle him a lot earlier this time and not take his foot off the gas with the wrestling.’
“So you’re looking at that, but they all see Khamzat as that guy nobody could touch, nobody could beat, and I do think I could beat him.”
