Kamaru Usman just broke Georges St-Pierre’s record for the longest winning streak in UFC welterweight history with a third-round TKO of Gilbert Burns, but will ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ be able to surpass ‘Rush’ as the welterweight GOAT?
It’s certainly a tall order, but UFC president Dana White thinks Usman is well on his way to overtake St-Pierre in the rankings following his 13th consecutive win and third defense of the welterweight title at UFC 258 this past Saturday.
“He just broke his record tonight,” White told reporters following Usman’s win against Burns in the UFC 258 main event (h/t MMA Junkie’s Mike Bohn).
