L\u00e0 o\u00f9 certains auraient pu se contenter du reflet de la gloire familiale, Mohammed a choisi l&rsquo;octogone pour son propre compte, chez les poids lourds. Son surnom, \u00ab\u00a0The Motor\u00a0\u00bb, dit tout : un type qui tourne \u00e0 plein r\u00e9gime, qui n&rsquo;arr\u00eate pas.<\/p>\n<h3>The Ultimate Fighter 30 : le ticket d&rsquo;entr\u00e9e \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC<\/h3>\n<p>Avant de fouler le tapis de l&rsquo;UFC, Usman compile un solide parcours dans les circuits r\u00e9gionaux am\u00e9ricains \u2014 Victory FC, Titan FC \u2014 pour afficher un bilan de 7 victoires et 2 d\u00e9faites \u00e0 l&rsquo;approche de la saison 30 de The Ultimate Fighter. Le tournoi lui r\u00e9ussit : victoire aux points face \u00e0 Mitchell Sipe, puis d\u00e9cision serr\u00e9e contre Eduardo Perez en demi-finale, avant la finale le 6 ao\u00fbt 2022 contre Zac Pauga. Un crochet gauche brutal au deuxi\u00e8me round, 36 secondes apr\u00e8s la reprise, et \u00ab\u00a0The Motor\u00a0\u00bb remporte le tournoi par KO. Le contrat UFC est sign\u00e9.<\/p>\n<h3>Un passage en UFC en dents de scie<\/h3>\n<p>Son bilan \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC refl\u00e8te un combattant capable de tenir la distance mais qui se heurte aux limites de la d\u00e9cision. En avril 2023, il prend le dessus sur Junior Tafa aux points. En septembre 2023, il r\u00e9p\u00e8te l&rsquo;exercice face \u00e0 Jake Collier. Puis viennent deux d\u00e9faites cons\u00e9cutives aux points, contre Mick Parkin en mars 2024 et Thomas Petersen en juillet 2024. Il rebondit une derni\u00e8re fois en juin 2025, battant Hamdy Abdelwahab \u00e0 l&rsquo;unanimit\u00e9. Son record final \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC : 4 victoires, 2 d\u00e9faites.

L&rsquo;agence antidopage Combat Sports Anti-Doping (CSAD) enqu\u00eate. Usman fournit d&rsquo;abord de fausses explications avant de finalement admettre les faits. Ce comportement trompeur lui co\u00fbte cher : la suspension standard de 24 mois est alourdie de 6 mois suppl\u00e9mentaires, pour un total de 30 mois. La sanction est r\u00e9troactive au 9 octobre 2025 \u2014 il ne pourra pas retrouver la comp\u00e9tition avant le 9 avril 2028, \u00e0 39 ans. Dans la foul\u00e9e, l&rsquo;UFC le coupe de son roster en f\u00e9vrier 2026.
