Kamaru Deen Marty Usman

Because that was his name. Ben knows him from their college wrestling days as good ol' Marty From Nebraska

 

[Diogenes of Sinope]

that was his stripper name

 

[KeepItRealist]

Because Kamaru sounds like the name of some Australian Outback critter.

Kamaru Deen Marty Usman

Because that's the actor's name. Marty Osmond plays "Kamarudeen Usman" in the UFC.

He's good old Marty from Nebraska, but he became Kamaruddeen Uthman from Nigeria just like Mark Calaway became the Undertaker.

You didn't explain why the nickname "Marty". We all know that his nickname is "Marty", but TS asked some explanationa about.

Thats the name he went by as a kid. American assimilation at its finest. Plus he probably didnt wanna get picked on as a kid. Not a big deal either way

his wrestling coach was a dumb redneck and Karmarudeen was too hard for him to pronounce?

Love how all the spin on here is Usman is really "Marty" and is putting on a Nigerian persona. Is it not at all possible that Karmaru Usman from Nigeria was able to get a scholarship for wrestling in Kansas and that he chose or was given a nickname of Marty because the good ole boys in Kansas would think Kamaru Usman was a key member of the Triad of ISIS with Obama and Osama?
