In the UFC, Kamaru Usman is widely regarded as one of the greatest welterweight fighters in mixed‑martial‑arts history, and his net worth has risen accordingly. The “Nigerian Nightmare” has defeated numerous high‑profile opponents, including Colby Covington, Jorge Masvidal, Gilbert Burns, Tyron Woodley, Rafael dos Anjos and Leon Edwards. With several major main‑event bouts already on his résumé, it is unsurprising that Usman has amassed a multi‑million‑dollar fortune.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Usman’s net worth is approximately $3 million (about N1.3 billion). This estimate reflects his current UFC contract, endorsement deals, and earnings from his achievements as a top‑ranked welterweight. Among his endorsements, the most notable have been with Reebok and Trifecta, though the exact amounts from these partnerships have not been publicly disclosed.
Sporting News reports that Usman’s base salary is $600,000 (N276.3 million) per year. This figure can increase through performance bonuses such as Fight of the Night, Performance of the Night, Submission of the Night, and Knockout of the Night. His most lucrative payday came at UFC 251, where he defended his welterweight title against Jorge Masvidal. MMASalaries indicates that Usman earned a total of $1,423,333 (N655.4 million) for that fight, comprising a $600,000 base salary, $783,333 in estimated PPV revenue, and $40,000 in reported sponsorship money.
