About my knee...
Guys, this is crazy. Yesterday, seeing that tweet, it just goes to show how quickly people jump on news and media and assume it's true. Whoever started it or claimed they heard or saw something, how could you have possibly heard what I said when it was just me and Justin on a stage in front of thousands of people in a mall? Were you next to us to hear what I was saying? It's stupid and just dumb. If my knee was hurt, why would I get up and insist on hitting mitts? People believe anything you put on the internet. Whoever that was, stop it with the clickbait. Clearly, I'm fine. This is the exclusive behind-the-scenes for UFC 294 as it pertains to me, so make sure you like, subscribe, and follow.

Kamaru Usman's knees are injured.
Tomorrow has destroyed knees. His knees are so messed up that he is in constant pain. He fights in pain and walks downstairs backwards. He was so injured that he had to walk on the grass because the sidewalk hurt too much. There is a drastic difference between the musculature in his legs and his upper body, likely due to his destroyed knees. His wrestling is mostly done with his upper body, not his legs. His mind is the most dangerous thing about him because he can overcome that kind of pain. Everywhere he walks, every step is constant pain.
