Usman's words ring true, as Blachowicz doesn't hold the leverage he once did. Since losing the title in 2021, Blachowicz has gone 1-1-1, with two cancelled bouts and that one victory being a TKO by injury. Meanwhile, Usman's last performance saw him lose by thin margins against Khamzat Chimaev. Only two fights detached from his head kick loss to Leon Edwards, Usman could still barter a number one contender fight in two divisions, if not a big money fight against a big name.
