No respect!! After saying Usman is like I phone 5, Chimaev doubles down on Nigerian Nightmare.

UFC 294 featured two amazing last-minute matchups for its first media day before the action this weekend. 

In the co-main event, Kamaru Usman with only 11 days' notice will face Khamzat Chimaev, the biggest bad guy in the sport right now in a middleweight eliminator.

Usman accepted this fight so quickly despite his suffering from numerous injuries throughout his career and most recently losing the Welterweight title to Leon Edwards.

If he prevails over the most formidable fighter in the UFC at the moment, though, he will earn a title shot at Sean Strickland who defeated Israel Adesanya.
