However, Kamaru Usman proved his worth as one of the most active and dominant UFC fighters at the moment. He not only defeated Jorge Masvidal in just two rounds, but did so with a nerve-wrecking punch. Many were assuming that the champion will use his wrestling to win the fight, but to their surprise, he just beat Masvidal at his own game.

Even though the former Twitch streamer might have lost some money, it is safe to assume he enjoyed UFC 261. The event comprised a plethora of shocking moments and dominant performances by Kamaru Usman and Valentina Shevchenko. On the flip side, Rose Namajunas knocked Weili Zhang in Round 1 to become the new UFC Women Strawweight champion.

During a conversation with CouRage and Zlaner, Doc had also opened up on stepping inside the boxing ring. True to his nature, he made fun of Nickmercs, TimTheTatman, and Cloakzy when asked about fighting them. Regardless, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Doc follows the lead of other content creators and showcases ‘Violence.Speed.Momentum’ in an actual boxing fight.
