“Secure that bag in Hollywood” – Fans root for Kamaru Usman’s retirement as former champ models for Montcler in Milan

In a surprising turn of events, Kamaru Usman left fight fans astonished with his unexpected appearance in Italy. The former welterweight champion appeared on the runway in the fashion capital of Milan, Italy. 

During his visit to this renowned fashion hub, he confidently displayed his style by wearing exquisite attire from the prestigious designer brand Moncler. This change from his usual fighting persona into the world of high fashion certainly caught the attention of many.

Kamaru Usman is widely regarded as one of the most well-rounded UFC fighters in the modern era, boasting a dominant reign as the welterweight champion. The Nigerian fighter fearlessly took on all challengers, contributing to some of the most significant pay-per-view events in recent years.

Usman’s decline began with a notable setback when current champion Leon Edwards defeated him via KO at UFC 278. In the subsequent rematch, Usman could not mount a successful comeback at UFC 286 and suffered another loss. Currently on a two-fight losing streak, the fighter appears to be relishing his time away from the octagon. Engaging in modeling in Milan might be one of the ways he’s using to clear his mind. However, many fight fans are skeptical about the likelihood of a comeback at this point.
