Options have grown scarce as they relate to Kamaru Usman. Such is the plight of a truly dominant divisional champion.
Usman turned away another would-be assailant and retained the undisputed Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight title, as he cut down former Sanford MMA stablemate Gilbert Burns with punches in the third round of their UFC 258 main event on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Burns succumbed to blows 34 seconds into Round 3, suffering his first defeat in nearly three years.
Sailing was far from smooth for Usman.
