“Nigerian Nightmare”, Kamarudeen Usman has come a long way from the five-year-old that left Edo State, Nigeria to the United States of America with his parents. From snagging the distinction of a top-wrestler, transitioning into mixed martial arts, to getting crowned the UFC welterweight champion, the father of one is living the life most of us dream of.

Kamaru Usman defeated Tyron Woodley at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas to become first African-born fighter to win a UFC title. Popularly called ‘Nigerian Nightmare’, Usman dominated the match to win the welterweight title with a unanimous decision.
