Kamaru Usman defeats Gilbert Burns to retain as the welterweight champion!
Undisputed welterweight champion Kamaru Usman cemented his position at the top of the 170-pound division by beating top contender Gilbert Burns at UFC 258.
Usman, 33, was stunned early by the Brazilian, his former training partner.
But the Nigerian recovered superbly to turn the tables on his heavy-handed opponent, 34, and claim a third-round TKO finish at UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
He has won all 13 of his UFC fights and surpassed Georges St-Pierre for the longest winning streak at welterweight.
