The UFC closed out its pay-per-view scheduled for 2019 with one of the most stacked cards of the year, capped off by Kamaru Usman putting Colby Covington away in the fifth round by TKO.
Usman showcased a game plan centered completely around striking with Covington as neither of the former college wrestlers even attempted a takedown during the fight that nearly made it all five rounds.
The finishing sequence that saw Usman put Covington down and out was one of the best of the year as the welterweight champion defended his title for the first time and simultaneously notched the biggest win of his career over one of the most polarizing figures in the entire sport.
