Kamaru Usman has been an extremely active champion so far in 2021. The world is only halfway into 2021 and ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ has defended his belt more than any other champion. Both fights have been extremely impressive displays as he earned knockouts over the likes of Gilbert Burns and Jorge Masvidal. However, as a champion, there is never a dearth of challenges, especially if you’re the champion of one of the most talent-stacked divisions in the UFC. Now, Colby Covington has been gunning for a rematch against ‘The Nigerian Nightmare [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kamaru-usman/]’ for a while now. In a recent interview with Helen Yee [https://twitter.com/HelenYeeSports?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor], he shared his thoughts on what is next for him in the UFC. Covington said, “I am very confident. They’re going to start forcing his hand. He’s taking some time. Oh I need some time with my daughter. But he has been all over Miami partying, out in the Bahamas partying, so, he’s had his time. His time is up. It’s time to fight me now, it’s time for round two. Round one was controversy-filled, you did not win that fight. It was a fake fight, fake ref, fake outcome, fake stoppage.” ‘Chaos [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/colby-covington/]’ continued, “I’m confident I am fighting for the undisputed strap next. Because Dana has reassured me, he has doubled down, tripled down, saying Colby is fighting for the undisputed title. Whether it is Marty Fakenewsman, the CEO of EPO or not, I am fighting for the undisputed title next….. I’m fighting whoever is next up in line, I’m winning my undisputed title and I’m going to bring it to Donald Trump the greatest living American.” [https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-boxing-news-the-world-hasnt-seen-my-boxing-abilities-tyron-woodley/] WILL FANS SEE COLBY COVINGTON VS KAMARU USMAN BEFORE THE END OF THIS YEAR? Kamaru Usman stated after his win over Jorge Masvidal [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jorge-masvidal/] that he would like to remain active as a champion and potentially defend his belt once more before the end of this year. However, when asked about a potential fight against Covington, Usman has always stated that he needs to see more activity. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/image01-83.jpeg] It is highly unlikely that Covington will fight someone else as he has his eyes set on a title shot. However, if Usman decides against fighting this year, it would mean a year of inactivity for ‘Chaos’. A potential fight between Covington and Usman would depend on Usman as he is the champion and calls the shots. If he decides to fight again this year, it will most likely be against Covington. However, if he decides to sit out for the rest of this year, Covington might be forced to fight someone else in the meantime.

<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Kamaru Usman 2023: Record, Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements</h2>
Kamarudeen Usman, better known as Kamaru Usman, migrated to the United States when he was eight years old. Usman started wrestling at a young age at Bowie High School in Arlington, Texas. He was known as "Marty" because his coach could not pronounce his name properly.

'The Nigerian Nightmare' earned the NCAA Division II All American title three times during his time with the University of Nebraska at Kearney. He was a two-time national finalist and <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://infohub.projecttopics.org/1910342-kamaru-usman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">became</a> the NCAA DII champion in 2010.

Usman made his MMA debut in 2012 and won his first match via a second-round TKO. Unfortunately, he lost his second bout via a rear-naked choke. Usman claims that he did not realize the importance of Jiu-Jitsu before this fight. As of October 2023, Usman sits at #1 in the UFC welterweight division <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://www.ufc.com/rankings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rankings</a>.
<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Kamaru Usman: UFC Career</h2>
After amassing a 5-1 record, Usman received the opportunity to be on The Ultimate Fighter: American Top Team vs. Blackzilians. He won both of his matches and then submitted Hayder Hassan to win the twenty-first season of TUF.

Usman continued racking up wins. He went on a nine-fight win streak in the UFC before facing off against <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tyron-woodley/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tyron Woodley</a> for the welterweight strap. Usman dominated Woodley to win the belt and then defended it four times.

In his first title defense against Colby Covington at UFC 245, Usman claimed a spectacular fifth-round TKO victory. Then, he defended his title for the second time against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jorge-masvidal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jorge Masvidal</a> at UFC 251, where he won via unanimous decision.

[caption id="attachment_609069" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-609069" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210406203714/GettyImages-1255678592.jpg" alt="Kamaru Usman" width="1920" height="1341" /> ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - JULY 12: Kamaru Usman of Nigeria battles Jorge Masvidal in their UFC welterweight championship fight during the UFC 251 event at Flash Forum on UFC Fight Island on July 12, 2020 on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC)[/caption]

His third title defense was against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/gilbert-burns/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gilbert Burns</a> at UFC 258, where he claimed a magnificent third-round T/KO victory. His last fight was a rematch against Jorge Masvidal at UFC 261, where he claimed dominating second-round KO victory. Next, Usman successfully defended his title for the fifth time in another rematch at UFC 268 against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/colby-covington/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Colby Covington</a> on November 06, 2021.

However, this proved to be his last title defense, as Usman lost the next fight to Leon Edwards at UFC 278. Next, he suffered another loss to the same opponent at UFC 286. 'The Nigerian Nightmare' holds a record of <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="http://ufcstats.com/fighter-details/f1b2aa7853d1ed6e" target="_blank" rel="noopener">15-2</a> in his UFC career.
<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Kamaru Usman: Fighting Style</h2>
On his feet, Usman is not the best striker. However, when he mixes in his takedowns, his striking becomes dangerous. 'The Nigerian Nightmare' may not have a crowd-pleasing style, but he dominates his opponents with his superior wrestling. He has a strong clinch game.

He is also one of the strongest welterweights on the planet. Besides that, very few people can match his pace of fighting. Usman's chain wrestling style is nearly unstoppable.
<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Kamaru Usman: Achievements</h2>
Usman <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://infohub.projecttopics.org/1910342-kamaru-usman">won</a> the NCAA DII bronze medal in 2008, silver in 2009, and gold in 2010.

Usman has won one 'Fight of the Night' and three 'Performance of the Night' bonuses in his UFC career. He holds a stellar record of <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Kamaru-Usman-120691" target="_blank" rel="noopener">12-3-0</a> in his MMA career.
<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Kamaru Usman: Net Worth and Salary 2023</h2>
Kamaru has earned over $ $9,460,800 in his UFC career, according to <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://mmasalaries.com/kamaru-usman-fighter-salary-net-worth-and-info/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MMA Salaries</a>.

As of now, Kamaru Usman is not running any charity. However, he plans to start one in the future.

<em>“I have an excellent team, a great manager and we’re going to put something together, we’re going to start a foundation and we’re going to change lives," </em>Kamaru Usman <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/trentreinsmith/2019/03/07/ufc-champ-kamaru-usman-were-going-to-start-a-foundation-and-were-going-to-change-lives/#73b766465b2d" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> during UFC 235 post-fight press conference.
