Having followed MMA closely since 1995 and witnessed countless thousands of fights, Kamaru Usman’s first fight with Colby Covington at UFC 245 was one of the greatest battles I'd ever seen. Easily in the top 10. A much greater fight, for instance, than Forrest Griffin-Stephan Bonnar 1 or even Anderson Silva-Chael Sonnen 1.
