  • Benua Afrika sedang menjajah UFC.
  • Benua hitam kini memiliki tiga gelar juara dunia.
  • Kamaru Usman berharap, apa yang sudah dilakukan petarung Afrika mampu menginspirasi warga Benua Hitam.

SKOR.id - Para penggemar olahraga bela diri Afrika, patut berbangga, sebab mereka memiliki tiga juara di ajang MMA paling bergengsi, UFC.

Francis Ngannou (kelas berat), Israel Adesanya (kelas menengah), dan Kamaru Usman (kelas welter), jadi bintang Ultimate Fighting Championship. 

Francis Ngannou merupakan petarung asal Kamerun. Adapun untuk Israel Adesanya dan Kamaru Usman, sama-sama berasal dari Nigeria.

Yang menarik adalah fakta bahwa Israel Adesanya dan Kamaru Usman sama-sama sudah merantau dari Afrika sejak masih kecil.

Namun, Israel Adesanya tinggal di Selandia Baru sejak usianya masih 11 tahun hingga memiliki kewarganegaraan negara tersebut. 

Sedangkan untuk Kamaru Usman, memilih pindah ke Amerika Serikat (AS) saat dirinya masih berusia delapan tahun.

Meski belum pernah kembali ke negaranya, Kamaru Usman ingin membuat Nigeria menghasilkan lebih banyak juara UFC.

Sebagai catatan, Kamaru Usman merupakan juara UFC kelahiran Afrika pertama sepanjang sejarah ajang tersebut.  

Dirinya merebut gelar kelas welter, 2 Maret 2019. Lebih awal tujuh bulan dari Israel Adesanya yang merebut titel kelas menengah, 6 Oktober 2021.

"Itulah yang ingin kami (para petarung Afrika) lakukan. Meskipun di sini, jauh dari Afrika, kami tetap melakukan yang terbaik untuk negara."

"Kami membawa bendera (Nigeria) ke tempat tertinggi yang kami bisa," ucap Kamaru Usman, 33 tahun. 

Secara khusus, dirinya berharap, apa yang sudah dilakukan para petarung Afrika mampu menginspirasi warga Benua Hitam.

"Ini hanya permulaan dan saya tak sabar melihat titik tertinggi yang bisa saya capai," ucap petarung berjulukan The Nigerian Nightmare itu.
