Kamaru Usman may have just found the answer to the next chapter of his career.
Chael Sonnen explains why he's still intrigued by a potential Islam Makhachev fight, why retirement has always been about purpose—not ability—and why Usman's performance against Dricus Du Plessis convinced him of something unexpected.
