Lebron JamesBasketball legend and one of the all-time greats, he left with his LA Lakers team to take on the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 4. The Bucks are in front as of now with total scores of 131-116.
Usman, who was attending the NBA event with Ali Abdelaziz, his manager, last fought in UFC 268 when he fought Colby Covington and made his fifth successful title defense by unanimous decision. Usman is more likely to fight another welterweight contender Leon Edwards for the second time, possibly in or after July. The first fight happened in 2015 when Usman defeated Edwards by unanimous decision.

Usman took to his Instagram to post a story of James being in the center of the basketball court while a member of the Lakers scores a point in a few seconds.
Usman is currently the #1 pound-for-pound fighter in the UFC rankings. With 5 title defenses, many believe he will surpass the great Georges St-Pierre on the way to becoming the greatest welterweight fighter of all time. On his list, Usman has wins over players like Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal also twice, Leon Edwards, Rafael Dos Anjos, Demian Maia, Gilbert Burns, Tyron Woodley, Sean Strickland and many more.
That said, the welterweight division is also coming out with some fresh blood for the future. Khamzat Chimaev, who is 4-0 in the UFC, has finished all of his fights and has only been hit twice. 3 of his four finishes come inside the first round and he now heads to fight a former title challenger in gilbert burns. Next to Chimaev, there is Shavkat Rakhmonov, who is 3-0 in the UFC, 15-0 overall and has every fight done. Who do you think he’s next for Usman if he gets past Edwards and defends the title for the sixth time?
