Kamaru Usman and Rose Namajunas retain their titles at UFC 268
CNN
Welterweight champion Kamaru Usman defeated Colby Covington by unanimous decision early Sunday at UFC 268 at New York's Madison Square Garden.
Considered one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in mixed martial arts, Usman's strong takedown defense staved off Covington's challenges in the early rounds. A bloodied Covington rallied in the third, and an eye poke in the fifth from Usman temporarily paused the fight as medical staff tended to Covington.
The fight was a rematch from two years ago at UFC 245, where Usman defeated Covington via a fifth-round technical knockout (TKO) in his first title defense.
