UFC 245 Usman vs Covington took place on Saturday, December 14, at T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas.

Kamaru Usman, ‘The Nigerian Nightmare‘, was going against former interim titleholder and number-two ranked contender, Colby Covington.

Both fighters landed good shots early with no wrestling insight, but the actual highlight was Usman’s powerful striking throughout the fight. He attacked Covington’s body with hard punches and kicks that seemed to do the job of slowing Covington down.

Kamaru Usman put out another dominant performance and secured his first title defense against Colby. No doubt that this bout was one of the best fights in the UFC history books.

A rematch between Usman and Colby is on the cards, as Dana white gave out hints in the press meet post-UFC 258 fight night.

Watching Kamaru’s performance against Gilbert Burns reminded Dana of UFC 245.
