Defending the belt of UFC Middleweight World Champion K. Usman won the third round TKO.
The 33-year-old Nigerian stumbled early in the fight after a heavy blow from an opponent, but then took the initiative, and by the third round his advantage was no longer in doubt.
At the start of the third round, Usman dropped Burns with a precise punch to the face and soon ended the fight with a barrage of precise punches.
During his UFC career, Uman, who has not lost a single loss, defended his title last year for the third time, having previously defeated Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal.
Burns has lost for the first time since the summer of 2018. The 34-year-old Brazilian made no secret of his frustration after the fight and shed tears. Rejoicing in the victory, K. Usman hugged the opponent, comforted him and thanked him for the fight.
“It just came to our notice then. I can’t ignore what Burns did. He was an old friend of my team, we started together. He has shown that he is a great fighter,” said K. Usman, who achieved the 17th consecutive victory of his career. .
Once friends, then enemies.
