- We were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to document the moment UFC Welterweight Champion Kamaru "The Nigerian Nightmare" Usman earned his Jiu-Jitsu black belt from Jorge Santiago after defeating Tyron Woodley at UFC 235.
Thank you to Professor Jorge Santiago of Xcell Jiu-Jitsu for the opportunity to be there during this historic moment.
When he’s not being corny he’s actually likeable
He was never corny..
Ify Ano depends on which personality he is in at the time tbh
You always have to ruin everything eh???
Evil man
You're a Vibe killer
Man, I wish his authentic character could be his persona on the promotion. Way more genuine, likable, and consistent. No point in faking this macho persona when he's more of a GSP type of champion, and should embrace it. He doesn't have to go against his character to create false hype, talk trash, or speak a lot - GSP never has and he was a superstar just by being humble, respectful, and just damn good at fighting.
I mean it's not just his personality, his style of fighting is so boring. I know, I know "It'S mMa Not KiCKbOxinG" but it doesn't change the fact that he holds people against the fence barely trying to advance
BC can you even fight 😂😂
BC you said it yourself, it’s mma/the ultimate FIGHTING championship. The game of the sport is fucking up your opponent by any means necessary, it just so happens that grappling is the best way of doing it. Don’t know what you want, for them not to win? Lol
I agree with you wholeheartedly but I also think we are in a different era and fighters feel they have to sell themselves, be extroverted . Being quiet and gathering a long winning streak doesnt do much for you , look at Leon Edwards
David Wrestling is 10 times harder than striking. Anybody can learn to strike and become moderately good and it’s not too taxing on the body, but any wrestler transitioning to MMA knows that wrestling is harder. If a striker doesn’t want to get mauled on the ground (Conor) maybe they should learn how to get their lazy ass off the ground, A striker can get a lucky strike and maybe get a KO but a good grappler will ALWAYS dominate.
Wish I would see some of that BJJ in the octagon more often.
You do. With as many opponents that he’s taken to the ground, when was the last time he got submitted? BJJ isn’t just about getting submissions. It’s also about getting and maintaining dominant position on the ground. And also defensive bjj where you fend off getting submitted.
Akil Brazier he uses literally only wrestling 90% of the time. Didn’t even TRY to pass jorge’s guard
h long which means kamaru should’ve did more if Jorge did “nothing” when one guy does nothing that just means more opportunity for the other guy to do something and kamaru didn’t do anything or try to do damage.
Fake black belt...
@@tman2741 yeah, lemme blow my load and get KO'd next round. not trynna disrespect but you don't seem to have a fighting iq and should prolly study up before debating.
This made me tear up. Really nice moment in martial arts history. Kamaru Usman seems like a pretty swell dude
Joe Manfredi Dammit I’m a sucker for this type of thing too
Think you mean Marty fake news man
bodman 12345 cry me a river 🤣
Wendigo 👍
Pussy
This is the personality that usman should have in his utc interviews. Kind and humble. He will be embraced by the people like they embraced GSP. Cejudo was much nicer when he retired and it was a better angle for him to play.
I love how you people always feel the need to tell successful people how to act instead of focusing on your own lives.
@@majid3731 Interesting perspective
UFC is straight business. You have to sell, play the game right to get to that money lvl. Look at mcgregor, without his loud mouth he wouldn’t be where he is. Yes there are ways, etc Khabib and other fighters
He does, but ya’ll usually nitpick fighters on the littlest stupid useless stuff.
Why does the Black Man always have to be self deprecating to make you clowns feel comfortable about their success. I bet you're a fan of guys like McGregor, Covington and Masvidal. Those guys are allowed to express their opinion and defend themselves when disrespected by fellow fighters. But, dare a Black fighter do the same, he's considered (in the case of Usman) either arrogant or fake. The only thing Usman has to do is keep winning, you clowns can go kick rocks.
Always always always kids being loud asf while someone gets their black belt ! Wtf
Someone should have taken the kid outside.
I don't think anyone cares. It's a lax environment where people are enjoying themselves
Never ever fails lol
Tradition is TRADITION
It's what it is haha
I always want to cry when i see a blachbelt promotion
Kevin Smith, the Priest come on be nice buddy
@@anonymus2874 where do you train bruh? We can roll if you want let's share knowledge bohoo
@@anonymus2874 hey I'm talking to you
@@GoldenRNB haha i dont train but id like to start. This covid tho. All i do is work sleep eat and shit so i need to do something with myself
@@dewmontain123 if you want to train i recommend you do wrestling first and then do mma and learn a little ground game don't go to a bjj school you're probably (very likely) gonna waste your time there and kiss the instructor's ass
Secret black belt technique: Toe Stomp!
That reaction from Kamaru was ace...
that's awesome. 2 lifetime achievements in the same year, ufc champ and a black belt promotion. a moment like this would be the highlight of anyone's life.
It’s beautiful when your student achieves such great heights. Congratulations to Usman and Congratulations to his coach.
This is very nice. Congratulations Usman. I can’t wait until I get my black belt
That's is a beautiful experience and moments in his life! Congratulations Usman🤝🏻🤛👊🤜🥋👈👍👏
Congratulations!
Anyone noticed how Kamaru would do a double take when saying "thank you" while trying get eye contact? That's one of the multiple beautiful this about jiu-jitsu, he was genuinely thankful to everyone there, from the black belts all the way down to the white belts. He realizes that everyone in that gym, no matter what belt color, helped him become better & acomplish he ultimately goal of become a UFC champion, while making lifelong friends. Gotta love jiu-jitsu. Oss
Great guy
Congratulations..!
##KAMARU BLACKBELT DUDE IS A BEAST💯🔥
👏👏👏👏congratulations champ
Tem nosso respeito absoluto aqui no Brasil 🇧🇷 IRMÃO. Defendeu nossa honra. Muito obrigado!
Way to go Kamara! You're one of the best role models, thank you!
Most exciting thing hes done in his fighting career
Second to breaking Covington's jaw and making him run out of the arena in shame.
Oof 😂😂
At the end of the day Kamaru had more to say on the mat than in front of a camera. New GSP
Lets not go that far, but defo a good guy and fighter.
He'll end up with the better career
@@shadowthefirst5115he's already equaled gsp's record for consecutive wins so he's def up there, underrated champion.
@@uriahthekey8647 not the caliber of fighters gsp faced tho.
Only colby. (Cant consider woodely bcs he was a frozen duck, and jorge gassed in rd 2).
@@shadowthefirst5115 so who would you consider the same caliber in the devision right now?
Congratulations Champ. Well deserved. Very nice person
Respect. The man knows how to control opponents.
Congratulations best of luck.
I mean if he stayed like this the whole time, genuine,humble and be himself many people would actually like him. But when there is a fight he turns into a fake thug and that’s why people dislike him so much.
Rick Baines: First what you are saying is typical double standard bull shit. There are many fighters who turn angry and pissed before a fight. WHITE too! Yes, the "thug" tag was typical. No fighter is as much of an ass hole as Covington and you people love him! There is nothing thugish about Usman. Was it not Jorge that called himself a real gangster? yes! And the BMF? Ah, that would be jorge. Next, there are not many preachers who are fighters. If you got off your ass and actually did some real sparring, you would know that.
@@TheUmmahFightCamp Stop race baiting lmao. Who is the dude who asked Jorge for autographs and pictures? And then calls him a journeyman? And then acts like he doesnt know him WHO WHO? And then says Jorge is the best fighter he fought? And then says he gonna bless Jorge? And then says Jorge is shit again?
And then you see when on the pressconfrence with Askren. And talked big stuff like, oh Askren was scared blablabla. But then behind the scenes you saw how much of a fool he looked for acting hard.
Bruh it has nothing to fo with skin color. And with Colby, most people dont like him, but for the people who do you can see its a character. I know its fake, he does it as a act but slow people like you dont get that.
And Jorge calling him a gangster? Idk whats wrong with that, he been fighting since he was a child in the streets against grown men 40 pounds heavier then him. Then went flying across the world fighting men professionally. He been in the game for 17 years.
And if you talk crap about him, he does do something alone unlike the owl, ask Edwards
And nothing thugish about Usman? Bruh he attacked Colby with Ali when he was in a line ordering food or something, with old people and kids were around. Like why does he do that? That ain't it chief and the difference between Masvidal was before your dense ass brain asks, Masvidal went up to Edwards with his team full of fighters around alone. While Usman went with Ali, to some random ass civilians who had nothing to do with it.
Your mentality that everyone is against a guy cuz he is black is just hiliarious.
TheUmmahFightCamp why the fuck are you bringing in skin color? And no I don’t like Colby, what are you even on about.
TheUmmahFightCamp tyron woodley this you?
JustAdo The guy has a point actually. Usman doesn’t put on an act but people say he does or that he’s fake and people hate him, yet Colby is blatantly putting on a cringeworthy act and a lot of people love him for it. Not saying it’s about race at all though. Also, Usman didn’t attack Colby with Ali in the buffet line. Usman was holding Ali back because Colby kept talking shit and Ali wanted to beat Colby’s ass. I’m starting to think you didn’t actually watch the video and are just going off of what Colby and his fans are saying.
He's a true legend. I don't care his personality or anything else.
Camera pans round and everyone in the room is asleep...
All jokes aside, an inspirational dude and great character.
U guys hate on him for putting on a persona but as soon as he acts calm and himself u call him boring. Smh
HAPPY MOMENT
Always humble, his love and smile will lead him on top of all the lengends
bro Great wrestler with a black belt? that’s scary as fuck
All that top control and no submission attempts
Yea i wouldnt think he is a black belt
Jiujitsu is not all about submissions attempts and finishing them,it’s about controlling an pipe that on the ground,Soo I can see why he is a black belt
Don Robbie Aftv how is that fighting just laying on your opponet and not doing anything significant ?
Professor Suge why u asking me,go ask kamaru,as long as it works for him and he retains his belt he don’t give two shits about what ppl think,he always dominates,reminds of when floyd use to get hate for his defensive game plan in boxing but still was dominate
Usman is the strongest guy in his division. This is how he dominates. Displays zero BJJ skills. Zero! His wrestling is not great either. Better than most but again, strength. USA wrestling channel has plenty of footage of him losing. Where are those guys, maybe they should have their black belts too.
People want him to have better personality, but when he does get better, everybody will forget about him, Nobody cares about the good guys in UFC, everybody just comes for the drama
Exactly. And if you add a little racism in the mix, you get why everyone is talking about Masvidal the loser instead of Usman the champ
@@jon_s ???
But usman isn’t a bad guy either he is just annoying lmao
@@games4pran705 his personality, deamenor and reluctance to trash-talk can be compared to stipe's . If you don't find stipe annoying then you're fockin racist
TheGRiMREAPER ask the rest of the mma community pretty sure that like 7/10 people think he is annoying. He acts like someone he isn’t. Great fighter but don’t like him as a person.
UFC champ and still wants to learn, Class man
thats the attitide that gets them to the top
Salahudin Anthony great attitude to have
He's actually such a nice guy
Yeah i wish he is just himself in the future and not someone he wants trying to be
u mean colby cavington
@@g.m.r.7200 has always been himself. its just that he whoops great white hopes like colby cavington so everyone has to trash on him like you.
Weller my brother welcome to the black belt Club
If Kamaru would continue to just act like himself a lot of people would stop dissing him, hands down. The man is very talented 🖤💯
Kamaru👑👑👑👑
Congratulations it takes alot of years training.
Marty from Nebraska has come a long way
Wow, this Kamaru is really likeable
Real Usmans a good guy
If Kamaru didn't act soo fucking fake , he would've been one of the most loved fighters, everyone just hates fake shit
hes in awesome person cant wait to start martial arts training soon
UPDATE : Got my blue belt last week💪Oss
Ayee go for it bro
Chewy Postman i will soon, Its just soooo expensive in Miami classes here are usally $200 plus monthly especially for bjj
@@donlean2164 geez thats mad
@@donlean2164 damm bro in my contury you can train mma for 20$-30$ a month
Congrats Champ!. Tell them kids it's quiet time now. 💪😁
So apparently there were no brown belts in this gym.
Purple to black
Usman had a brown belt on before they switched it to black.
How do you go from no stripe brown and straight to black?
Frank Kirkpatrick not every school does stripes
@@AW151992 but those purple belts have stripes
Kamaru is a beast !
He is sweet .....real kamaru
💯🤙🏾
That's cool
Based Usman
This dude is awsome ahah big fan
congrats marty from nebraska
lol Imagine being this big of a loser that you have a fake account just to make that comment.
how many subs did u have
Never knew he was a black belt 👍
💪💪💪
Black belt and wrestling?
Usman is the man
Carlson in the back
I thought for a while i saw Demetrious Johnson
He should try using some of it sometime
He seems to be doing just fine. Hasn’t lost in ufc yet. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it
@@Hatingonyall2023 yh i agree he's great at what he does, I just wanna see some jiu jitsu 🤣
Kyle Brown yea he might use it eventually
Japan, Brazil and America, for some reason, even if those countries had no connection whatsoever, it had lead to a moment like this.
Must be a thing to give black belts to champions. Tyron Woodley got black belt too but never never seen his. And I'm very sure that when Gilbert put him on ground he didn't use any of jujitsu skills
Did Usman use any BJJ in his fight with Woodley? All I remember is a lot of hugging and laying around.
Now he entered the realm of great jiujitsu practitioners like Mario Lopez Russel Brand and many more...i forgot Keanu Reeves
I find it suspicious that everyone that wins a ufc belt suddenly become bjj black belts
Well, when Tony got it after a successful fight from Eddie Bravo, I didn't have any doubt. He shows it in the octagon
UFC are promoting BBJ
Which personality of Usman received the belt?
does he even train with the gi
him, Woodley, and Tony Ferguson all got their black belts after they won a fight. Usman and Tony after they won a 🏆 , Woodley after defending it. Woodley and Tony actually submitted their opponents though where as Usman was able to just completely neutralize Woodley (who was also a black belt then) so that was enough to earn it evidently. Usman actually only won 1 fight by submission
not sure what he did to acquire it, he has it under someone named Jorge Santiago I guess, all I know is his BJJ isn't as elite level as his next opponent that's for sure.
@@MrRobjs83 BJJ is a joke industry. It promotes WRESTLERS to keep the myth going.
@@TheUmmahFightCamp what myth? That it's supposed to be the best martial art or something?
Hey Marty, if you have a black belt in jiu jitsu why the hell is your submission offense in UFC 3 a 86?
He had no stripes on that brown belt from what I saw.
That promotion from brown to black was faster than BJ Penn.
Being a black belt doesn't automatically make you a submission specialist in MMA
@@idasu lmao, what school have you been going to?
idasu It’s.. a joke..
@@AB-dh5ld I wasn't being combative lol
And he used the foot stomp. 😂 Dude was fearing the baptism.
Imagine losing to foot stomps... I mean there was nothing Jorge could do to avoid that? What an amateur fighter he must be
Triggered bandwagon fanboy alert
@Master Shake Who is that Jorge guy and why does the UFC give title shots to amateurs who can't deal with foot stomps? Smh
This is Usman getting his black belt faster than BJ Penn without a submission or bjj tournament win.
0 stripe brown belt to black belt? Amazing
All respects usman but I have to be a critic here with the 0 stripes on your brown belt.
Is his Jiu Jitsu that good? I don't remember him wrapping up any good submissions
Having good jiu jitsu isn’t about just locking in triangles and RNC’s. Dude’s ground defence is outstanding, and that’s why he’s a black belt.
@@joep7586 how u know ? u have never seen him in that situation.. Takedown defense is not bjj..
Snoozman earns the hugging and foot stomping belt.
Was the last thing for him to master was the toe stomp ?
Look at curry mann
Hey its Jorge Santiago the man Alan Belcher headkicked and has a soft chin.
Shut that kid up! DAMN!
Does anyone know how long it took him to get his black belt?
said he started in 2012 in this same video bro, i think right after he got choked by jose caceres he started bjj
Just rack focus next time 🤷🏻♂️
This is were he learn the toe stump technical move
Guess you never seen Jon Jones fights.
anekinoo7 Jon Jones finished people atleast
@@wristfroze So you would rather watch a cheater finish people or a non cheater get decision.
@@emantheheman3083 good words
How come he don't have strip on brown or it wa there.
Why are woodley and usman black belts? I see wrestling I haven’t seen any jitsu besides vs Darren Till
Cause he usually gets tko victories
@@Visionarymindstudios who does??
Usman and Woodley never get TKO wins (in the last 5 years)
Usman is most dominate 170 UFC ever saw. Give the man his respect
He sucks.... he likes to hug people. Don't like his fighting style. Afraid to get hit
Wilson Erazo maybe you will be first to figure him out then. Lol they can't beat him because he is boring and hugs people. You ever tried to control another fighter ? Do you think it's easy ?
Nobody can't beat him in 170. Boring ? Don't watch lol
Gamebred should only fight with bad asses like nate... porier.. even magreggor... there's a whole bunch of stand up fighters outhere... they should have a rule against this kinda fighters thar are cowards. If he wants to hug or wrestler he should join the wwe...mr snoozeman.
Wilson Erazo again mma is not standup only, you watching wrong sport.
By Wilson logic I can say standup fighters are looking for lucky shot or end up in hospital. Derp lol
Nice way to promote your dojo.
hehe, yeap
IMO usman should be promoted while woodley should be stripped that was a terrible grappling performance by woodley.
@Jacob Sirak now its 2 dominant losses after what Burns did to him, he got outclassed on the ground by Usman and on the feet by Burns
A video of usman actually being likable
🥰
That's whatsup
Seems u trying to follow Tyronne foot steps
belts in USA are like wallmart goods. Here u have to earn it by months of improvement and showing it in sparing. after u get one u walk through coridor of people whiping their belts on your back just to make you know thats its a tough way to get to BB. Connor just casually have brown belt and exposes back just to get choked againts diaz. What a joke.
Nice performance usman. truly deserved for that waist grip and feet stomps.
Ppl with BJJ background are more dangerous than these clowns which are beneficial for BJJ gyms as marketing.
Please upload some of your bjj rolling since "here" wherever that is you have to earn it let's see cuz honestly cant tell if you're cappin.
As much as you have a relevant point, your examples are flawed. Firstly, Diaz is a legit black belt and if he couldn’t finish Conor (brown belt) on the ground, we’d be clowning him. He’s black belt for a reason. Secondly, jujitsu is about controlling your opponent which Usman clearly did in the Woodley and Masvidal fights. It’s Mixed Martial Arts bro.
Sorry, dont have ani vids, since i focus on finishing someone instead of posing for instagram.
And as far as i know usman is a wrestler in the first place. that was just a smart usage of wrestling power againts mainly striker. He didnt do any judo technique, which is arguably important part of bjj neither any bjj technique which i feel isnt consistent in cage so I cant blame him.
All i dont get is how do u achieve a black belt like that for not showing any skill to prove it in that match.
It takes less time to master jiu Jitsu than wrestling...
So if you are young, begin with boxing/wrestling & after a decade or so, u can learn jiu jitsu+muay thai ..
Brazilian are more respectful guys..
Love from 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
This man just ignored the purple belts, wow.

Porra you gotch you black beltchie my brother. Now chimey chu practice you Northey Southey posish

THIS GUY SUB game is terrible for a 'black belt'
Go fight him then
@@noahali2329 even if I wanted to which I dont. I don't think it works like that kid.
tommy m m then shut it
Maybe at a high level mma fight. He may not choose to use them, and in a grappling match it may be completely different. He may dominate position then hit nasty submissions. We dont know. Go roll with the guy
@@jonathanhensley3042 the most pointless comment I've ever heard. Basically saying in competition he won't use it 😂 isn't the point of being a good black belt to use subs especially the dominant positions he's in due to wrestling...he literally lays in guard. But of course you know fuck all about MMA so probably don't know what guard is. Why don't you go roll with him if it's that attainable 😂 Jesus Christ some of you virgins need shot
1:50 Usman doesn't bow or shake hands with purple belts...
