In the world of mixed martial arts, just one loss can significantly impact a fighter’s reputation and legacy. Fans and other fighters alike can quickly forget about their earlier wins and become critical of their abilities. Recently, Kamaru Usman, the former UFC welterweight champion, reflected on this phenomenon in an interview with Michael Bisping.

Usman suffered a defeat at the hands of Leon Edwards at UFC 278 via a devastating head kick in the last round. However, they are set to face each other again at UFC 286. During his conversation with Bisping, Usman addressed the issue of how quickly people can forget a fighter’s capabilities, even after just one loss.
