Kamaru Usman might have to earn the nickname of 'The Closer' after his latest win.

Just when it looked like American Top Team was on the verge of turning the competition around, the Blackzilians stopped them dead in their tracks with another dominant performance by team captain, Kamaru Usman.

Usman started the show in week one with a big win over Michael Graves to get the Blackzilians on the board first and it's been a fairly one sided affair since that moment.

Following a win by Hayder Hassan a week ago, Usman knew that the fighters from American Top Team were gaining confidence so he volunteered right away to stamp down any uprising by stepping into the 10th fight on Wednesday night.
