Dana White Calls Kamaru Usman the 'Greatest Welterweight of All Time'

Kamaru Usman (20-1 MMA, 15-0 UFC) is in action this Saturday, headlining UFC 278 at Utah's Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City. There, he'll take on Leon Edwards (19-3 MMA, 11-2 UFC) in a rematch seven years in the making, with "Rocky" going unbeaten since losing to Usman in 2015 and now earning his way into a title shot in their second meeting. The event streams live on ESPN+ pay-per-view (10 p.m. ET).

Should Usman win, it would be his incredible 16th straight UFC win, tying him with former middleweight champ Silva for the most consecutive wins for any fighter inside the company's famed octagon.
