Kamaru Usman has no equal at 170 pounds, but nobody comes closer to providing him with one than Colby Covington.
Usman retained his undisputed Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight title and improved to 2-0 in his head-to-head series with the MMA Masters export, as he laid claim to a unanimous decision in their five-round UFC 268 main event on Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York. Scores were 48-47, 48-47 and 49-46, all for “The Nigerian Nightmare,” his prodigious skills having impressed not only the judges but the 20,715 fans in attendance.
