Kamaru Usman was portrayed hustling in the gym in the UFC Born Brave television series. He discussed a variety of subjects but in particular, his defeat against Leon Edwards. The former UFC champion said, “My relationship with hardship is that we are friends because, over time, I understand now that there have to be some hardships to achieve greatness,” when discussing the difficulties in his life.
Usman also talked about his routine following his defeat at UFC 278. “Came home the following morning and watched the bout,” he instructed. “Whether you win or lose, immediately fix your mistakes and return to the drawing room.

UFC 278: Leon Edwards knocked out Kamaru Usman
At UFC 278 in August, Usman (20-2 MMA, 15-1 UFC) suffered a horrific knockout loss to Edwards (20-3 MMA, 12-2 UFC). With about a minute to go, he dropped the welterweight title.
Usman suffered his first defeat in the octagon after being caught by Edwards with a flawless head kick. After losing his crown, the former champion expressed relief and laughed with Joe Rogan. But Edwards didn’t believe his response to be sincere.
Seven years had passed since their first meeting when Edwards lost by unanimous decision. Since then, both guys have advanced significantly, with Edwards winning 10 straight races to earn his title shot ultimately. Edwards acknowledged that he anticipates a rematch with Usman for his first championship defense because their series is tied at one match apiece.
