The UFC‘s welterweight title will be on the line Saturday night as Kamaru Usman takes on Gilbert Burns while MMASucka provides UFC 258 results. Originally, these two were scheduled to face off last summer at UFC 251 before Burns pulled out due to positive COVID tests. The UFC was again briefly targeting for them to headline UFC 256 in December however Usman was dealing with injuries. Now, the pair will finally meet as Usman looks to defend his title for a third time.
Usman began his run for the title in 2018 as he had put together six straight wins since joining the UFC.
