There are a few examples of titles changing hands after going the distance that were as lopsided as the one that went down between Kamaru Usman and Tyron Woodley on Saturday night, and few of them bode well for the former UFC welterweight champion’s future prospects.
Usman put on a paradigm-changing performance, one that seems to harken the start of a long title reign, in dominating one of the game’s great wrestlers in Woodley. Usman used 17:51 of control time in a 25-minute fight to take the UFC welterweight title in UFC 235’s co-main event bout at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
