In the main event of UFC 258, welterweight champion Kamaru Usman overcame an early knockdown to finish Gilbert Burns and retain his title. It was the type of performance that solidified Usman’s position as one of the very best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. Unfortunately, it was also the kind of performance that once again revealed the UFC’s commentary team’s love of hyperbole
Following Usman’s performance, commentator Joe Rogan took the opportunity to anoint yet another fighter as The Greatest X of All Time,” or at least, to start the paperwork.
