Kamaru Usman on Sunday morning defeated Gilbert Burns to retain his crown as the undisputed welterweight champion at UFC 251.
The bout was expected to last the duration but Usman’s superior power saw him kick out Burns in the third round.
Burns had scared “The Nigerian Nightmare” with a heavy punch in the first round but Usman switched on the champion stuff in the second round.
By knocking out his long-time friend and sparring partner, Usman has made history as the UFC welterweight fighter with the longest winning streak with 13 straight wins back to back.
