It is obvious to even casual fans that Kamaru "The Nigerian Nightmare" Usman is linked to heavyweight Mohammed "The Motor" Usman. Muhammad as the veteran former welterweight champion's younger brother,

The younger brother of UFC veteran Justin "Bad Man" Tafa, Junior "The Juggernaut" Tafa may not be as well known among diehards as his older brother.

Speaking at the press conference after the fight, Mohammed explained the role his brother Kamaru played in the victory against Tafa.

He said, "My brother just kept saying the same thing over and over again, 'Don't rush. 

"Stay patient.'... Your heart rate is already soaring through the roof but when you rush, it goes up a little bit more. 

"It makes you lose track of focus. The mission is not to go in there and rush. 

"The mission is to go in there annd execute and do what we need to do to get the job done and I'm glad we got that done today."

Kamaru has a wealth of experience in the UFC even though he lost the welterweight title to Leon Edwards.

After the victory against Tafa, Mohammed Usman is now expected to move into contender status in the heavyweight division.
