Kamaru Usman defeated Jorge Masvidal via unanimous decision in Sunday morning's UFC 251 headliner on "Fight Island" to retain his welterweight title and remain unbeaten in the UFC.
The judges scored the bout 50-45, 50-45 and 49-46 for Usman.
The victory was Usman's 12th consecutive in the UFC, tying Khabib Nurmagomedov for the promotion's longest active winning streak. The win by Usman (17-1) also tied him with Georges St-Pierre for the longest streak in UFC welterweight history.
The fight took place on Abu Dhabi's Yas Island -- dubbed "Fight Island" for a monthlong slate of UFC events -- and came together only in the past week.
