Every successful man has a woman who serves as the X factor in his life. This assertion is especially true for Kamaru, a three-time NCAA DII All-American wrestler who has a happy marriage to Eleslie Dietzsch. Samirah, the couple’s daughter, was born in August 2014 and is their first child.
Despite the fact that both spouses routinely post on Instagram about their kids, they hardly ever upload pictures of themselves. Usman and Dietzsch appear to prefer keeping their relationship status a secret or just sharing it with close friends. Inferring from boxing rumors that Kamaru Usman and Eleslie Dietzsch began dating in 2016, we may assume that these two fell in love and were married after that year.

Usman was born in Nigeria’s Auchi. His mother was a teacher, while his father served as a major in the Nigerian Army. His two brothers are Mohammed and Kashetu, the latter of whom also competes in mixed martial arts and was a winner of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF). Usman was raised in a simple environment as a youngster. When Usman was eight years old, his father Muhammed Nasiru Usman, who later immigrated to the United States and trained as a pharmacist, brought his family with him. They settled in Dallas, Texas.
Kamaru Usman began competing in combat sports as a high school amateur. He had a 53-3 record before enrolling in college. Usman qualified for the NAIA national tournament throughout his collegiate career. Due to the snowfall, he was unable to attend the tournament. As a result, he moved colleges and enrolled at the University of Nebraska at Kearney. Usman finished with a 44-1 record to win the NAIA tournament and the NCAA Division II championship.
Usman finally made the switch to MMA, making his debut against David Glover at RFA 5 in 2012. Usman prevailed via TKO in the second round (punches). Usman’s next fight ended in defeat at CFA 11, although he later recovered to go on a four-fight winning streak and finish with a record of 5-1. After that, he signed up to compete in Ultimate Fighter 21 for the UFC in 2015.
Kamaru Usman’s big break came when he signed up for The Ultimate Fighter 21 and competed as a member of the Blackziliains team. The Nigerian Nightmare was the show’s dominant performer and went unbeaten all the way to the championship match against Hayder Hassan. Usman would triumph in the fight via arm-triangle choke in the second round to claim the title of “Ultimate Fighter” and get a six-figure deal from the UFC.
