UFC legend Kamaru Usman is considering retirement following his latest loss to former Middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis.
The fight, which served as the main event of a card in Oklahoma City, went the full five rounds. All three judges ruled overwhelmingly in favor of Du Plessis. It was Usman’s fourth loss in his last five fights, and the outcome has left Usman pondering just how much gas he has left in the tank.
“Right now, I have to sit with the coaches and the team and assess kind of everything and place where I’m at in my career — all in all, see if it’s worth continuing to do this, whether it’s worth continuing to put them through that,” Usman said.
“Listen, I’ve never really gone out there and not represented them appropriately, myself and my coaches. This one was a hard one because I felt I didn’t do that.”
Usman authored a legendary career, but at 39 years old, he certainly appears to be past his prime. Thus, no one could fault him for walking away, though it would be sad for fight fans not to get to see him fight again or give him a proper sendoff.
