ANAHEIM, Calif. – Kamaru Usman will once again be in the corner Francis Ngannou when he enters the octagon for the UFC 270 main event.
Usman, the reigning UFC welterweight champion, is a good friend of Ngannou (16-3 MMA, 11-2 UFC). He was in the corner of “The Predator” for his title-winning knockout of Stipe Miocic in March, and he’ll once again be in the same spot for Saturday’s heavyweight title unification bout with Ciryl Gane (10-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC).
Although Usman has only been an infrequent observer of Ngannou going into UFC 270, he said he’s seen enough to know where his fellow champion is mentally and physically.
