Ranked: 5 style icons in the UFC today
UFC fighters exhibit big personalities. They can be cocky, flashy, and express themselves in myriad ways- whether it's inside the octagon with their martial skills or outside the cage with trash talk. Curiously, another way in which UFC fighters express themselves is through fashion.
The charm of their physical appearance becomes part of the appeal of some fighters. Their respective fanbases get eager to replicate their favorite UFC fighters by stylizing themselves after them, be it through getting identical tattoos, hairstyles, or even outrightly dressing like them.
Conor McGregor remains the most well-known style icon in the UFC, his longtime commitment to wearing dapper suits has earned him admiration in the fashion world. However, 'The Notorious' is not the only fighter known for his dressing sense. This list ranks the 5 style icons in the UFC today. Let's get started:
#5. Kamaru Usman
The reigning UFC welterweight champion is one of the most dominant fighters the sport of mixed martial arts has ever seen. In fact, Kamaru Usman is widely regarded as the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world, with only Alexander Volkanovski challenging his status as the sport's current top fighter.

Inside the octagon, 'The Nigerian Nightmare' is a force of nature who has almost cleaned out the entire welterweight division. True challengers to his throne are few and far in-between. Outside the cage, however, Usman has garnered fame for his unique fashion sense.
The pound-for-poung king typically wears a blend of western garments patterned with African prints. Though at times, he wears traditional African garments embellished by sunglasses, watches, etc., in a manner which is captivating enough that Ariel Helwani once heralded the reigning-welterweight lynchpin as the best-dressed fighter in the UFC.
