Kamaru Usman has only one loss in his MMA career. That one taste of defeat in 2013 was jarring, and forced him to rethink a pathway to success in fight. Instead of analyzing his future opponents, Usman needed a more singular vision, and that has ultimately been the formula for success over the past eight years in the Octagon.
“The key for me has been taking it one fight at a time,” said Usman. “That’s what I have done for the past sixteen fights, and that’s what I will do this weekend.”
Usman (17-1) climbs back into the Octagon this Saturday to defend his welterweight championship against Gilbert Burns at UFC 258.
