In Usman’s last fight with Edwards, Samirah was seen in the audience. Samirah was devastated after witnessing her father getting brutally knocked out by Edwards. After the fight, Samirah was seen getting carried out of the arena, while she was crying.
I feel this deep. I do not suggest bringing family whatsoever. Especially the children. This is different fighting. I’ve done both sides of this and feel going to the mission solo is best. You can see family again post battle. Will definitely be continuing this way going forward. https://t.co/Ve71l4KeN5

Conor McGregor also took to Twitter to address this. He suggested that a fighter should never bring his family and especially the children to the fights. However, Usman was offended by this post by McGregor and their rivalry was reignited.
‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ will look to bounce back from his loss at UFC 278 against Leon Edwards. He will seek revenge for his only UFC loss and hope to reclaim his title in their trilogy fight which is soon to be announced.
