‘As Africans, we fight for everything we have’

Kamaru Usman, also known as the Nigerian Nightmare, wants to be the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s longest-reigning champion.
He is king of the welterweight division in mixed-martial art’s most famous and prestigious championship.
He puts his belt on the line against a friend and former training partner, Brazilian Gilbert Burns on February 13.
“That’s one thing we know how to do as Africans is fight, not just physically but fight for anything that we have, we have to earn,” he said.
