Darren Till and Kamaru Usman get heated over possible UFC 219 scrap
Originally, rising UFC welterweight contender Kamaru Usman was expected to battle the dangerous Emil “Valhalla” Meek at UFC 219. Unfortunately, it sounds like visa issues could force Norway’s Meek out of this planned showdown – which means Usman will have to look elsewhere for a dance partner.
Just received information that my visa is having some delays and that he UFC might have to re-schedule my next fight :/ #betsafe #ufc219 pic.twitter.com/afta292YiN

The “Nigerian Nightmare” has wasted no time in the hunt for a UFC 219 foe. Over the last few weeks, he’s been ceaselessly calling out Colby Covington, and on Tuesday, he also directed a callout to red-hot British contender Darren Till, who was quick to respond.
I guess I wasn’t lying… @emilvalhalla for stepping up. Now everyone else can get back to @ColbyCovMMA @darrentill2 @danawhite @seanshelby @Mickmaynard2

I’d finish him in the 2nd or 3rd if he makes it there. I️ like to punish my guys and take some life away.
