<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.

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.

<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Kamaru Usman: Fighting Style</h2>

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.
