Current UFC welterweight champ, Kamaru Usman, is spending some much-needed leisure time at his home country Nigeria. However, the welterweight is never short of work as Usman organized the first Mixed Martial Arts tournament back in Nigeria with fellow African celebrity Burna Boy.

Moreover, Burna Boy recently featured the ‘Nigerian Nightmare’ in his latest music video, B. D’OR, featuring Wizkid. Chiefly, the 170-pounds champ sizzled as he flaunted his welterweight strap in the exhilarating music video.
