Kamaru Usman Scores Brutal Knockout Over Jorge Masvidal

Kamaru Usman absolutely annihilated Jorge Masvidal Saturday night at UFC 261. He planted the BMF champ with a huge punch and retained the welterweight championship.

After dominating the first round, Usman wasted no time as he landed a huge straight right hand to the Masvidal's chin, and the challenger was out before he hit the canvas. A few hammer fists sealed things as referee Herb Dean stopped the fight 1:02 into the round.

He put the mouthy and drained his head of all Monster Energy Water. There's no questioning who the better fighter is between these two now.

This view is crazy:

Usman scored a dominant unanimous decision victory over Masvidal at UFC 251, but "Gamebred" had taken the fight on short notice and looked like a guy who hadn't gotten much training in. This was different. Usman annihilated him and at 19-1 with 18 straight victories can lay claim to the title of best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.
