Kamaru Usman has praised Kim Kardashian’s skills as a mixed martial artist after breaking down her fight with her sister Kourtney Kardashian. The Keeping Up With the Kardashian stars have gotten into multiple scuffles in the past, as siblings usually do. The only difference is that their fights have been televised for the world to watch.
Former UFC champion Usman gave a running commentary describing Kim and Kourtney’s latest battle. Needless to say, a laugh ensured on the Pound 4 Pound podcast.
“Kim pulls guard right away, feet up, up kicks, creates separation gets back to her feet. Kim sizes up the opponent…delivers the right hand to the shoulder….It’s incredible what Kim Kardashian has been able to do in such a short time in her development as a mixed martial artist,” said Usman.

The fight Usman’s exhilarating commentary described is from season 18 of the show. Kim has tried her hand at boxing before and has had some training. And it showed. She was using her size advantage over her sister to control her and put pressure on her.
Usman need not worry about Kim and Kourtney as possible contenders though. To be fair, he has not been worried about anybody. After all, he has been dismissing pretty much every contender in the welterweight division.
Usman dismisses Garry
Garry put on a valiant effort against Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 310, but he couldn’t deliver on his promise of victory. Despite taking the fight on short notice the Irishman was full of confidence and felt he would beat the Kazakh fighter.
And to be fair to him, he did stand up and deliver. It was a great fight that saw a lot of back-and-forth action with Garry almost getting the submission win on a couple of occasions.
But at the end of the day, he lost and so Usman is now questioning whether the Irishman even deserves to fight him. His P4P co-host Henry Cejudo probed him about what he thought of a potential fight against ‘Machado’, to which Usman said,
“Who are you that I of all people is scared of you?…I guess he was upset because he wanted me to be his late replacement…for his fight. Who that f**k is that guy?”

Usman used the infamous Conor McGregor ‘Who the f**k is that Guy’ line to indicate that Garry was a nobody to him. To be fair, the former champion is right, the Irishman’s resume is nowhere close to ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’s’ resume.
However, ‘Machado’ has been the more active fighter out of the two which is why he is getting to take on some of the best fighters in the division. Usman, on the other hand is sitting on a three-fight losing streak.
