Kamaru Usman celebrates Israel Adesanya's victory with daughter

Nigerian-American professional mixed martial artist Kamarudeen Usman has celebrated attending the latest Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event with his daughter.

Usman and his daughter were among the celebrities present at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida for the UFC 287 showcase.

The Nigerian Nightmare recently returned from headlining the UFC 286 main event with English professional mixed martial artist Leon Edwards at the O2 Arena in London.

Usman lost via unanimous decision and was unable to reclaim the UFC Welterweight title with massive support for the hometown favorite Edwards.

Upon his return to the United States of America, Usman and his daughter showed up to support  New Zealand professional mixed martial artist of Nigerian descent Israel Mobolaji Adesanya.

Adeanya needed two rounds to get rid of Brazilian professional mixed martial artist Alexsandro Pereira in the UFC 287 main event.

On his way out of the ring, Adesanya celebrated with a dance before embracing Usman who introduced the new champion to his daughter also in the front row.

Adesanya also met up with David Njoku American football tight end for the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League while waving the Nigerian flag.

Days after attending Adesanya's victory against Pereira, Usman posted photos on his official social media platforms.

Usman posted a series of photos from the event with his daughter cherishing the time they spent together.

Along with the photos was a message that said, "What an amazing night I get to share with my little lady. 

"I hope one day she will help me remember some of these amazing moments."

Usman before the trilogy against Edwards explained that it broke his heart as his daughter was present while he was knockout out at (UFC) 278 last August, in Salt Lake City, Utah. 

Speaking to NFL stars Channing Crowder and Ryan Clark on the Pivot podcast, Usman said, He said, “The only thing that broke my heart was that my daughter was there.

“I’m this invincible guy and she’s watched me win countless times, and in a child’s head, that’s just normal.

"I was watching the replay at the hospital and the kick lands and then the camera pans out and I can see my daughter crying. 

“That broke my heart big time, but then I had to flip it mentally because this was my moment to show her.”

His daughter was not able to go watch her father in the trilogy in London.

However, Usman made up for it by going to see Adesanya reclaim his Middlweight title.

Usman is now expected to take a break in the welterweight division but has already been called out by American mixed martial artist of Palestine descent Belal Muhammad.
