SO YOU MAY OF HEARD THAT THE UFC IS SHORTING THEIR EMPLOYEES ON THEIR WAGES AND CONTRIBUTTION TO THEIR BUSINESS.
But according to former two-division title challenger Sonnen, Usman hasn’t cemented his place opposite Edwards for the Englishman’s first defense, in spite of UFC President Dana White’s post-fight remarks.
Speaking in a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, “The American Gangster” insisted that nothing will be made official in the welterweight title picture until the conclusion of the UFC 279 main event between Khamzat Chimaev and Nate Diaz this weekend.
“September 10, there is nothing done and there is nothing that’s going to be done no matter what you’ve been told,” Sonnen said. “There is nothing that is going to be accomplished prior to September 10… there is no number one contender and Leon does not have his next opponent, and he will not have it until the end of business on the end of September 10 at the very earliest.”
