UFC 258: Kamaru Usman Stops Gilber Burns in 3rd Round, Keeps Welterweight Belt at UFC 258
News 18Kamaru Usman stopped Gilbert Burns with punches 34 seconds into the third round at UFC 258 on Saturday night, retaining his welterweight title with his 13th consecutive UFC victory. Usman defended his title for the third time and broke Georges St. Pierre’s UFC record for consecutive welterweight victories with another resourceful, clever performance that ended with a fierce display of power to stop Burns, his former teammate and sparring partner. Only Anderson Silva, who won 16 straight fights as the UFC’s long-reigning middleweight champion, has won more consecutive UFC bouts than Usman, who also tied Khabib Nurmagomedovs mark for the second-most consecutive wins to start a UFC career. Mexican flyweight Alexa Grasso beat young contender Maycee Barber by unanimous decision in the co-main event of the UFC’s first pay-per-view show since it returned from Fight Island to the Apex gym on its corporate campus in Las Vegas.
