“The Nigerian Nightmare” won a clear-cut unanimous decision over former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos in the welterweight main event of The Ultimate Fighter 28 Finale on Friday at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. It was the ninth consecutive UFC win for Usman, who is unbeaten since winning TUF 21 back in July 2015.
Unsurprisingly, Usman’s size, conditioning, and wrestling ability proved to be the difference makers against dos Anjos. His crisp jab was good enough to keep RDA from getting his own striking off early and it wasn’t long before he closed the distance and slammed dos Anjos to the mat.
