“You’re Struggling to Get Wins”- Kamaru Usman Mocks Anthony Rocco Martin

UFC Vegas 7 or Fight Night: Munhoz vs Edgar has suffered multiple setbacks. Two fights got canceled in the buildup to the event. Also, the UFC scrapped the co-main event featuring Ovince Saint Preux once he tested positive for the coronavirus. Welterweight division champion, Kamaru Usman, must have had an inkling of what the fights would entail and decided to have some momentary fun.

UFC fighter, Anthony Rocco Martin, tweeted, “Tonight going to be a weird night of fights I see.” Usman responded to him following the first fight and said, “Difference is I have Gold around my waist and you’re struggling to get wins.”

This is a dig at ‘Tony Martin’ who lost his last fight at UFC 250. He has just six career defeats, but in the eyes of ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’, six defeats is a lot.

Later, the champion deleted his tweet, however, with a wink emoticon, ensuring that fans know that it wasn’t an error on his part. 

Kamaru Usman prepares for his next title defense

The welterweight champion is readying himself for his next fight and would like to step into the cage immediately after his medical suspension ends. ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ claimed a win in his second title defense at UFC 251 against Jorge Masvidal. 

Now, friend and former training partner Gilbert Burns awaits him. As per the six-month medical suspension, it seems unlikely that the welterweight belt will be defended again in 2020. 

However, December is the likeliest date for 2020 with the fight possibly joining the women’s featherweight title match at UFC 256.

Usman rules as champion and has an eye on all the activities at 170 pounds. He will not want to give up his spot as he continues to have fun while away from the competition. Do you feel he responded to Martin by accident?
