209 or 187? After Nate Diaz criticizes, Kamaru Usman fires back

Kamaru Usman didn’t hold back when he implied he’d murder (187) Nate Diaz inside the cage.

If he fights the 209’s most prominent representative inside the cage, UFC welterweight champion [autotag]Kamaru Usman[/autotag] thinks he’ll have a “187” on his hands.

That’s what Usman (19-1 MMA, 14-0 UFC) told [autotag]Nate Diaz[/autotag] on Tuesday.

“187” is seemingly a reference to an often-used police code for murder.

The spat between the two welterweight fighters transpired on Twitter and began when Diaz (20-13 MMA, 18-12 UFC) issued a tweet that criticized Usman for his upcoming rematch against Colby Covington, a fighter who the 170-pound titleholder already defeated once.
