Kamaru Usman: ready for his close-up?
The Nigerian-American dynamo has bullied the UFC welterweight division since formally joining in 2015. The power wrestler is a serious worker with a high fight IQ and the strength of a juggernaut. He hasn't lost a UFC bout in six tries—and that doesn't include his flawless run through season 21 of The Ultimate Fighter.
UFC Fight Night 129 was a moment of truth for Usman. His opponent, Demian Maia, is one of the best jiu-jitsu players of all time. But he's 40 years old now and riding a two-fight losing streak.
