Kamaru Usman is widely recognised as one of the best pound-for-pound MMA fighters on the planet. Prior to his two consecutive defeats at the hands of Leon Edwards, it’s fair to say that ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ was widely regarded as the #1 P4P fighter in the world.
Now, Usman aims to rebuild and get back to championship level after losing his last two fights in the UFC. Of course, Usman may go on to retire from the sport entirely, and you couldn’t blame him if he did. He has earned huge sums of money inside the octagon, and is set for life if he does so wish to walk away from the sport.
As of July 2023, Kamaru Usman’s net worth is estimated to be around $3 million (source: essentiallysports.com). Usman also boasts almost one million followers on Twitter, 3.4 million on Instagram and over 16,000 YouTube subscribers.
The majority of Usman’s income comes from MMA and his UFC career. He is a former Welterweight Champion and won the Ultimate Fighter 21. More on Usman’s outside of the octagon earnings a bit later in this article.
