Watch Kamaru Usman & Justin Gaethje Sparring, Delivering Vicious Body Shots

After it was confirmed that longtime teammates, Gilbert Burns and Kamaru Usman are going to battle at UFC 251, the latter decided to change up his camp and headed to Colorado.

Well, more recently the welterweight champ posted a video, which shows him trading blows with interim lightweight champ, Justin Gaethje.

Not long ago, Usman confirmed that he’s moved his camp from Sanford MMA in Florida to train with renowned coach, Trevor Whittman. The latter coaches the likes of Gaethje and Rose Namajunas in Denver.

On Sunday, Usman posted the video below as well as this comment.

“Iron sharpens iron. How much would you pay to watch this for a few rounds? Just two dudes having fun ? @onxlabs #ufc251”

That’s two of the most rugged, well-rounded fighters on the UFC roster. It will be really interesting to see if Usman does indeed, decide to stay in Colorado permanently.
