Kamaru Usman established himself as one of the greatest fighters ever ā¦ and now the UFC superstar is looking to expand ā to the ballroom!!
Usman didnāt just TKO Gilbert Burns over the weekend ā¦ he made history. The Nigerian Nightmare broke GSPās record for consecutive welterweight wins in the UFC (Usman now holds the record with 13 straight).

So, when TMZ Sports talked to the champ, we asked if heād be interested in āDancing with the Starsā ā and Usman made it clear there could soon be a mirrorball trophy next to his UFC belts.
āI do my thing! I do my thing! Thatās the thing with me, I understand that practice makes perfect and Iām disciplined enough to be able to train at it,ā Kamaru tells us.
āSo anything, if I need to work at it, do the moves, learn āem, boom! Iām in there! I can get it down.ā
Usman wouldnāt be the 1st UFC star to be on DWTS ā¦ Chuck Liddell was on the show in 2009 (he was eliminated 5th). Paige VanZant was a contestant in 2016 ā¦ and nearly won the show, finishing 2nd.
Primetime TV isnāt new to Usman ā¦ he previously told us heād like to be the 1st Black āBachelorā (Matt James ended up landing the gig after 25 seasons).
But, with all the drama surrounding the āBachelorā franchise (see Chris Harrison), Kamaruās looking for less TV romance ā and more dance.
āItās a tough one now because with the controversy going on, now it kinda soils the name, ya know?ā
Donāt worry ā¦ we also talked to Usman about his beefs with Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington.

And, donāt get it twisted, just ācause Usmanās looking to make a splash in the pop culture universe, heās still laser-focused on smashing Gamebred and Chaos.
