The wins keep on piling up for Kamaru Usman, who is entering rarified air with his extended streak of excellence.
“The Nigerian Nightmare” improved to 2-0 against Colby Covington in the UFC 268 headliner, earning a unanimous decision triumph at Madison Square Garden in New York on Saturday night. Usman has now won 15 straight fights in UFC competition, the second-longest winning streak in promotion history behind pound-for-pound middleweight legend Anderson Silva (16).
UFC president Dana White believes Usman belongs in the lofty company among the sport’s greats after his latest triumph.
