Who will be next to challenge "The Nigerian Nightmare"?

Following Kamaru  “The Nigerian Nightmare” Usman’s title defence against Colby Covington at UFC 245, he has now cemented himself as one of the greatest welterweights of all time. In his ongoing, 15 fight win streak, he has dispatched the likes of Rafael dos Anjos, Demian Maia and former champ Tyron Woodley. Having already defeated most of the welterweights ranked in the top 5, many are wondering what’s next for “The Nigerian Nightmare”.
