BUILT TO BREAK THEM: How Kamaru Usman Turned Being Different Into Being Dominant
Kamaru Usman was never supposed to make it. A kid from Nigeria dropped into small-town America, fighting through culture shock, rejection, and self-doubt - all before ever stepping into a cage. To many, he was just a foreigner trying to fit in. But the world would soon find out that being different wasn't his weakness. It was his greatest strength.
Built To Break Them tells the story of a champion who didn't rise by being like everyone else - he rose by refusing to be. In this powerful narrative, we follow Usman's journey from rural Africa to UFC dominance, tracing the tension between two identities and two worlds, and the fight to claim both. It's a story about grit, belonging, and the quiet battles we fight long before the spotlight ever finds us.
Usman's path isn't just inspiring because of what he achieved, but because of what he overcame. His success asks hard questions: What does it mean to be American? Where does true strength come from? And how do our differences become our armor, not our burden? This book isn't just for fight fans - it's for anyone who's ever felt overlooked, underestimated, or underestimated because they dared to be different.
If you're ready to go beyond the headlines and into the heart of what drove one man to defy the odds, Built To Break Them will change the way you look at struggle, identity, and success. Pick up your copy today - and discover why different isn't just dangerous. It's unstoppable.
