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.

The aforementioned is a famous rapper who is known far and wide in Africa. Meanwhile, the rapper thanked the UFC pound-for-pound #1 for inviting him to his first MMA fight event. In a video, we can hear Burna Boy say, “Beautiful, very entertaining. My first MMA fight I’m watching in Nigeria.”

Notably, Usman took notice of his fellow entertainer and responded with gratitude through his Twitter account. He wrote, “First of many my brother.”

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.
