It was all fun and games until it started raining in Medellin, Colombia and the car started rolling backwards down the mountain.

Kamaru Usman can laugh about it now, but in early October, it was no laughing matter as the UFC welterweight champion traveled up that mountain to visit the kids training at Boxeo Para La Vida with former UFC lightweight champ Frankie Edgar and Edgar’s wife, Renee.

“It was the most unsafe thing I've ever seen,” said Usman of the harrowing trip, which started off as a spur of the moment visit during some downtime while the two UFC stars were in Colombia.
