UFC legend Jon Jones introduced his pal Kamaru Usman to MMA at a house party during their first year in college, leading to an iconic career.
The pair were close friends during their college wrestling days, with Usman travelling to visit Jones in Iowa where they went to watch MMA fights at a party. Both men would go on to become pound-for-pound greats in their respective eras, with Jones recently becoming a two-weight world champion and Usman having an unforgettable run with the welterweight belt.
Usman is currently taking some time out to deal with injuries after losing twice to Leon Edwards in title bouts, while Jones is preparing to face Stipe Miocic later this year in his first heavyweight title defence. But their storied careers may not have happened had it not been for a night with pals watching Randy Couture in college.
