Fans questioned Kamaru Usman and Henry Cejudo on social media for unexpectedly recording a podcast while shirtless.
Over the past year, Usman and Cejudo have collaborated on a podcast called 'Pound 4 Pound.' The former UFC champions have weekly conversations about the world of combat sports, providing insight with their extensive experience.
Earlier today, they released a short video on Instagram of Usman talking about the UFC welterweight division. Instead of focusing on the conversation, fans couldn't help but notice both fighters were shirtless for an unknown reason.
The comment section was filled with fans asking why they weren't wearing shirts:

Kamaru Usman believes Belal Muhammad should change his mindset to "make money"
Kamaru Usman is coming off three consecutive losses - two against Leon Edwards for the welterweight title and one short-notice middleweight bout against Khamzat Chimaev. Regardless of the recent results, 'The Nigerian Nightmare' is the number two-ranked welterweight and maintains a strong presence in the title picture.
Earlier this year, Belal Muhammad dethroned Edwards from the welterweight title. The question is, who will receive the first opportunity to dethrone 'Remember The Name'? The primary options mentioned are Usman and number three-ranked Shavkat Rakhmonov, who holds a 6-0 record in the UFC, all finishes.
Muhammad has discussed a potential number-one contender bout between Usman and Rakhmonov. During the previously mentioned podcast episode, Usman ridiculed Muhammad's mindset by saying:
"I want the fight, but when you got him saying, 'Oh, I'm gonna sit down and I'll let those guys fight. You guys fight and then I'll fight the winner.' Listen, that's not a recipe for how you make money. This is about money. Once you become champion, I need to make as much as I can with this position that I'm in. I feel like that's something these guys aren't understanding."
Nonetheless, Kamaru Usman continues to pursue the title fight against Belal Muhammad. The former 170-pound king also believes a potential matchup between Muhammad and Shavkat Rakhmonov could be rumors. Only time will tell what takes place at the top of the welterweight division.
