Fans have expressed concern over Kamaru Usman's physical condition after his appearance at the UFC 286 weigh-ins.

In particular, many have pointed out the state of Usman's left knee, which appears to be bruised and stiff. This has raised questions about whether he may have sustained an injury or has overtrained, potentially affecting his performance in the upcoming fight against Leon Edwards.

Ahead of his highly anticipated title rematch with Edwards at UFC 286, Usman has addressed concerns about his physical condition, specifically rumors of a serious knee injury. Despite being seen wearing a knee brace during training, the former welterweight champion has reassured fans that he is not suffering from any major knee injuries.

Many fans have questioned how Usman's knee issues might impact his performance in the octagon, and some have even speculated that the injury could result in him losing the fight.
