(4) His greatest regret in his career was his only loss.

The Nigerian nightmare confirmed his only regret since he started fighting in the UFC was his second professional fight, which happened to be his only defeat since he began fighting. Usman said the defeat to José Cáceres taught him not to give up because he gave up in that fight.

(5) He does not enjoy fighting:

He also revealed in the interview that he does not enjoy fighting. He said the only thing that pushes him to work hard and get into the ring is the competition.
