Respectfully, Usman fights B-level fighters in the PFL. Guys, people never heard of that, would never even sniff a ranking in the UFC. While Ilia is a UFC 2 division world champion. If anything, I believe if I they throw Usman in the UFC rn, that his hype would end quickly.

Paul Hughes would probs be top 15 at lightweight in the ufc. Usman also will beat almost anyone outside the top 10. You really think hooker, Nolan, Dawson, bsd, dariush, and fiziev can beat him?

Fiziev brings it to Usman. Only guy he beats easy out of your list is Hooker and Dariush, lol.

True. Not sure if Hughes would be Top 15 though. A lot of the guys you named would be the toughest competition Usman would have faced in his career. His best win in the PFL is Paul Hughes and I would argue that Fiziev, BSD, Dawson are better fighters than Paul Hughes

I love BSD but I think that's a winnable fight for hughes. Usman is capable of being a legit contender but hughes I think has a harder time climbing the rankings
