The mixed martial artist and his crew met governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state and the 45-year-old politician posed with the prestigious title.

Meanwhile, Usman also presented the governor with an autographed copy of his souvenir while he was at the statehouse projecting his vision to the number one man in Kogi.

Kamaru has become a force to reckon with in his industry having lost just one bout after 20 fights in his professional career.

Nine of his triumphs came through knockouts while just one was via submission from his opponent.

Legit.ng earlier reported that UFC champion Kamaru Usman seems to have found himself a new training partner after his six-year-old daughter joined him for a light exercise routine.

The 34-year-old and his adorable little girl were filmed uniformly doing their exercises program by program.

Both of them had their training mats laid in front of a lush green lawn outside in what appears to look like the front of their house.
