Kamaru Usman says that he is not interested in the BMF Title

When asked about a potential fight against Kamaru Usman in the near future, reigning and inaugural BMF Champion, Jorge Masvidal claimed that he is rather willing to face Conor McGregor ahead of a bout against 'The Nigerian Nightmare'.

Usman, who himself was also present at the UFC 246 media day, was asked about his thoughts on possibly challenging for the BMF Title, to which the reigning UFC Welterweight Champion had a pretty severe response.

Kamaru Usman on possibly challenging for the BMF Championship

Currently, on the back of a dominant win over Colby Covington at UFC 246, Kamaru Usman was asked about his thoughts on possibly challenging for the BMF Championship, to which the reigning UFC Welterweight Champion said he isn't interested in a mediocre title and is already in possession of the gold and that is all that matters to him.

Usman, when asked if he has any interest in the BMF belt: I’m not intetested in a title for mediocrity. I have gold. That’s what matters to me. Last time I checked the value in gold is higher than silver.
