Kamaru Usman, often known as the Nigerian Nightmare, needs to be the UFC’s longest-reigning champion.

He’s king of the welterweight division in blended martial artwork’s most well-known and prestigious championship.

He places his belt on the road in opposition to a buddy and former coaching companion, Brazilian Gilbert Burns on February 13.

Although raised within the US, Kamaru was born in Nigeria, and he informed BBC Africa he needs to symbolize his nation and continent each time he steps into the octagon.
