Kamaru Usman Beats Colby Covington via Decision to Retain Title at UFC 268

Kamaru Usman successfully defended his welterweight title once again with a unanimous decision win over Colby Covington in their title fight rematch at UFC 268 from Madison Square Garden in New York City on Saturday.

The fight was once again a back-and-forth affair, but Usman proved to be just one step ahead of the challenge from Covington.

Usman has been well-established now as the best welterweight on the planet, and this win is just further proof. The first fight between him and Covington was a barnburner, but Usman had the upper hand in that one, too, finishing him in the fifth round.
