Usman was pushed to Stots by his mother due to the Nigerian roots both wrestlers shared. ĭuring his transition, fellow Nebraska at Kearney wrestler-turned-MMA Kamaru Usman took Stots under his wing as a mentor. When transferring from collegiate wrestling to mixed martial arts, Stots found that it wasn't only his work ethic but also the body awareness that helped him move over and adapt to the new sport quickly. As a senior, he compiled his second NCAA title and helped the team win the team championship before graduating. When he came back as a junior, he won his first DII title with a record of 30 wins and 6 losses, helping the team reach the team title. He then transferred to the University of Nebraska-Kearney ( NCAA Division II), where he was forced to take a medical redshirt instead of a junior season. As a sophomore, he once again qualified for the NJCAA tournament, but did not place. He then earned a scholarship at Labette Community College and became an All-American with a fourth-place finish in the NJCAA level as a freshman. He started wrestling in his junior year at Klein Oak High School in Klein, Texas after the passing of his mother. Stots grew up modestly in Houston, Texas with his mother and two brothers. As of April 25, 2023, he is ranked #2 in the Bellator Bantamweight Rankings.
As a wrestler, he is a two-time NCAA Division II champion. He currently competes in the Bantamweight division of Bellator MMA, where he is a former Interim Bellator Bantamweight Champion.
