How many Losses does have

UFC Welterweight Champion Kamaru Usman is one of the most influential fighters in UFC history. Usman (17-1 MMA, 13-0 UFC) is currently riding a 16-fight winning streak and has won every one of his fights in the UFC. But an undefeated record is a rarer than rare event in MMA, as there is no end to the number of ways to lose. Even the greatest MMA fighters have tasted defeat in their careers and the Nigerian nightmare is no exception.

Kamaru Usman’s only defeat on his MMA record was handed to him by longtime UFC featherweight Alex Casares’ older brother, Jose Casares, in Usman’s second MMA fight as a professional.

Kamaru Usman’s loss against Jose Casares early in his career prompted the Nigerian American to incorporate Brazilian jiu-jitsu into his training. Although Osman only has one submission victory on his record, progress in BJJ is evident in his dominant victories over fighters such as Rafael dos Anjos and Damien Maia.

Net Worth

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Usman has a net worth of around US$3 million. It takes into account Osman’s current UFC deal, his endorsements and numerous fighting achievements as a highly ranked welterweight fighter in the sport.

Usman is reportedly looking to move up to the sport of boxing after his MMA career therefore he will likely see high-earning bouts against celebrity fighters like Logan or Jake Paul or veteran boxing names like Canelo Alvarez at the table.

Having these big mainstream competitions will certainly raise the profile of an already successful fighter, which means that his net worth may also increase exponentially over the next few years.
