Nigerias kamaru usman becomes first african ufc champion

I think there may be some misinformation here!

Kamaru Usman is indeed a Nigerian mixed martial artist who competes in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), but he is not the first African UFC champion.

The first African UFC champion was actually Ernesto Hoost, a Dutch-Moroccan kickboxer who won the UFC 12 Heavyweight Tournament in 1997.

Kamaru Usman, on the other hand, is a Nigerian-American mixed martial artist who has held the UFC Welterweight Championship since 2019. He is the first Nigerian-born fighter to win a UFC championship title.
