PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has commended Kamarudeen Usman on the successful defence of his Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight title with an emphatic win over Jorge Masvidal.
Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President (Media & Publicity) made this known in a statement today and stressed that President Buhari commends the courageous fighter for emerging the first African-born and Nigerian UFC Champion.
The President added that by finishing strong inside the octagon, and proudly flying the green and white colours in distant lands, he practically reminds the world that good things and great people still come out of Nigeria.
“While the global COVID-19 pandemic may have brought gloom to many families and nations, our welterweight champion has lifted our spirits with another professional performance proving that things will surely get better at the fullness of time when we remain committed to our vision”, the President delightfully stated.
The President wishes Usman the very best and more victories in his career and prays that like fine wine, he improves with age.
