UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman flaunts the new cover of GQ magazine after being featured in it.

‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ started wrestling at a very young age. From the streets of Nigeria to the UFC octagon, Usman has come a long way. Today he is one of the most prominent names in the sport and hails a professional career record of 20-1 under his name.

The Nigerian-born fighter has never lost a fight in the UFC. Furthermore, he currently reigns the welterweight division of the UFC. Usman became the champion in 2019 and has had five successful title defenses ever since.

The 34-year-old sits at the pinnacle of the UFC men’s pounds-for-pounds rankings. He has made a fortune through the sport. Interestingly, such spectacular success brings in a lot of money, brands, and sponsorship for the athletes.

And the case is the same for the UFC champion Usman. Recently, ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ got featured in one of the most famous magazines GQ Sports.

It is just one more feather on the champion’s cap, who currently holds several amazing records in the promotion. Many even compare him to the legend of the sport and former double champion of UFC Georges St-Pierre.

‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ has already surpassed GSP’s thirteen consecutive wins record. However, he is just four defenses away from breaking GSP’s record of nine successful title defenses.

Usman is fresh from his recent win over Colby Covington at UFC 268. Interestingly, he will soon return to the UFC octagon against an old opponent for his sixth welterweight title defense.
