Former UFC champion Kamaru Usman has a lot of options.

The 37-year-old, described by many as being among the finest welterweight fighters in history, has dropped three straight fights in the Octagon, including to Khamzat Chimaev last year in what was Usman’s debut at 185-pounds.

But now assessing his options in a welterweight division currently ruled by Belal Muhammad and with Shavkat Rakhmonov penned in as the next title challenger, Usman says that there are several interesting fights for him in the division — including the rising contender Joaquin Buckley, who defeated Usman’s old rival Colby Covington at last weekend’s UFC event in Tampa, Florida.

“I feel like the hot chick at the bar, everybody wants a piece,” Usman said on his Pound4Pound podcast, as noted by MMA Fighting.

“It’s almost like no one’s listening to what I’m saying. No one’s getting what I’m saying. I don’t care who it is,” Usman added. “Shavkat, Belal, Ian [Machado Garry], Buckley, ‘JDM’ [Jack Della Maddalena], I don’t care who it is. One thing that I won’t do because I’ve done it for so long and too much, which is partially why I’m having to take this layoff, is compete when I’m not ready. When I am healthy, I don’t care who it is.”

As for Buckley, winner of six straight fights, Usman says he was impressed by the manner in which he handled Covington last weekend.

“Obviously, me and Covington utilize the wrestling differently and how we approach fights. Most people know when I take you down, you’re not getting up unless I want you to get up, and so it’s different.

“I remember watching the fight and I’m going Buckley did great. First of all, shout out to Buckley, he did great for being able to go through a guy like Covington. With Covington having that long layoff, I don’t know how he’s going to show up, but everybody knows as the fight gets later, Covington gets a little bit more comfortable, so it was going to be how quick he was able to get the ring rust off and get going. Buckley didn’t really allow him to do that.”

But with all of that said, Usman says that when he is in top form there is no fighter at 170-pounds who can hang with him.

“I don’t mind who it is,” Usman said of his next opponent. “It’s like no one is listening to me. It seems like every week we get on here and I have to do this, no one’s listening. When I’m healthy, I’ll whoop every one of y’all, it doesn’t matter who it is.”
