Mohammed Usman’s decision-making process to sign with the PFL was a family affair.
When your brother happens to be Kamaru Usman the welterweight champion of the UFC and currently one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in all of MMA you tend to listen, and for Mohammed, when it came time to make a jump up to the big leagues, Kamaru’s advice was invaluable.
Last year, Mohammed, a top heavyweight prospect, signed with the PFL after fielding offers from the UFC, Bellator, and ONE Championship. Usman makes his debut Thursday night at PFL 3 on ESPN and he told MMA Fighting that having his older brother around to provide guidance was a key factor to him joining the league over the other major promotions.

Nobody wanted to see UFC Vegas 21 end the way it did last night. The main event, which saw Leon Edwards return to action after a lengthy time away ended when he poked Belal Muhammad in the eye.
The eye poke was one of the nastier ones we’ve seen in recent time and nobody is questioning whether or not Muhammad could (or should) have continued fighting. The fight, which promised to offer either Edwards a route to the title shot or Muhammad a chance to springboard into the title picture, is now rendered a non-event.
