Nigeria’s Kamaru Usman Makes UFC/MMA Top 5 2021 Fighters of the Year

December 27, 2021January 19, 2022

Kamaru Usman just made the Number 1 of MMA Mania’s Top 5 Fighters of the Year

Usman was the only UFC champion to make three defenses of his title, all of which came against some of the best in his division. He put the borderline indestructible Jorge Masvidal to sleep with a “Knockout of the Year”-worthy right hand, beat a surging Gilbert Burns into submission, and turned aside a spirited effort from his greatest rival in Colby Covington to end the year strong. It was an absolute banner year for the “Nigerian Nightmare,” who more than earned his place at the top of this list.

Others in following order includes

Charles Oliveira
Julianna Pena
Ciryl Gane
Ray Cooper III

Congratulations to Usman
