Rogan on Usman's knees
According to American UFC color commentator and podcaster Joseph Rogan, Usman's knees are not healthy.
Rogan made this known on his podcast, explaining that Usman has issues with his knee and can't even walk on concrete.
He said, "Kamaru's got some f**ked up knees,"
Will Harris the guest on the Rogan podcast also gave his assessment of Usman and his injury.
He added, "It's amazing that guy fights as well as he has, the kind of pain that he has.
"He told me that he had to walk on f**king grass because he couldn't walk on concrete because it hurt so bad."
"I was in Denver with him the week before the fight and he'd be walking down the stairs backwards."
Usman lost their UFC welterweight title to Edwards back in August 2022.
There were reports that Usman wanted the trilogy fight with Edwards to be pushed back until UFC boss Dana White scheduled the fight for March.
This is not the first time Rogan would give an update on Usman's knees being damaged.
On an episode of the Hotboxin' with Mike Tyson podcast, Rogan hailed Usman for continuing in the UFC despite his knee challenges.

He said, "He's that guy that's just a bulletproof-mindset champion.
"That's what sets him apart from everybody. You know Usman's knees are f**ked. Both his knees are f**ked.
"He can't run. He said he has to sometimes walk on the grass instead of concrete because it hurts his knees so much."
Despite the new information, Usman will take on Edwards at the 02 Arena as the main event of UFC 286 scheduled for Saturday, March 18, 2023.
