Kamaru Usman — watch collection

About Kamaru Usman’s watch collection

Kamaru Usman is a Nigerian-American mixed martial artist widely regarded as one of the most dominant welterweights in UFC history. Born in Auchi, Nigeria, and raised in Wichita, Kansas, Usman became a two-time NCAA Division II national wrestling champion before transitioning to professional MMA. He won the UFC Welterweight Championship in March 2019 by defeating Tyron Woodley and went on to defend the title five times — a record for the welterweight division. His reign lasted nearly three years and included victories over elite competition including Colby Covington, Jorge Masvidal, and Leon Edwards. Usman also held the pound-for-pound number one ranking for an extended stretch, cementing his place among the sport's all-time greats.

The Kamaru Usman watch collection, as captured in our sightings database, currently centers on Rolex. Specifically, Usman has been spotted wearing the Rolex Datejust 41 ref. 126333 in the two-tone Yellow Rolesor configuration — a combination of Oystersteel and 18k yellow gold — fitted with a black diamond-set dial and Jubilee bracelet. The ref. 126333 was introduced during Rolex's comprehensive 2016 Datejust refresh, which brought updated case proportions, the caliber 3235 movement, and a redesigned Jubilee bracelet with the Oysterclasp. The black diamond dial with yellow gold hour markers gives this particular reference a bolder look than the standard Datejust offering, and it sits at the upper end of the Datejust 41 range in terms of configuration.

The choice reflects a taste for pieces that carry recognizable luxury credibility without moving into overtly complicated or niche territory. The Datejust 41 in Yellow Rolesor is a well-established reference that appeals to athletes who want a watch with presence and material value but rooted in a practical, wearable format. For a fighter who built his reputation on disciplined, methodical dominance rather than flash, the reference is a reasonable fit — grounded, accomplished, and considerably more composed than the highlight reel might suggest.
