UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman is on a quest to prove that he will one day be remembered as the best welterweight fighter of all time. That journey took another step forward on Saturday night at UFC 258 as Usman successfully defended his title in the main event with a third-round TKO victory over former teammate Gilbert Burns. The win also helped Usman pass the legendary Georges St-Pierre for the longest winning streak (12) in UFC history.

Burns jumped out to a quick start in the first round by rocking his friend with a few stiff strikes, but Usman would quickly rebound and take control the rest of the way. After piecing the challenger up in the second round, Usman put it into overdrive in the third round as he eventually walked out of the UFC Apex facility still in possession of the 170-pound belt.
