Kamaru Usman added another name to his growing resume Saturday at UFC 258 with a third-round TKO win over Gilbert Burns to close out the show from the Apex facility in Las Vegas.
Burns and Usman engaged in a back-and-forth chess match that ultimately ended up with one of Usman's best performances yet.
Usman is quickly proving his status as the welterweight division's best fighter. He now has three consecutive title defenses. Since beating Tyron Woodley to capture the championship in March 2019, he's beaten Colby Covington, Jorge Masvidal and Burns.
This win has to mean something extra as Usman and Burns have a history of training together.
