Nigerian-born American Mix-Martial Artist (MMA) Kamaru Usman represented Nigeria again with his walk-out song before his fight against Jorge Masvidal in the main event of UFC 251 on Saturday, July 11.
Usman walked out to a record by Nigerian Afrobeats star Burna Boy titled ‘Anybody’.
The UFC star who is nicknamed Nigerian Nightmare as usually had the Nigeria flag draped around his neck as he made his way to the Octagon.
Usman was born in Edo State, Nigeria before he joined his family to migrate to the United States when he was eight-years-old.
“They think because I’ve been in Yankee for long, I’m different. No, na Naija boy na em I be, original one,” he told Pulse Sports in Pidgin English.
“This is why I had to take the name ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ to let them know.”
This is not the first time he has walked out to a Burna Boy record. He walked out to this same song at UFC 245 on Saturday, December 14, 2019, when he beat Colby Covington in the main event to retain his Welterweight title.
