Usman equals Khabib Nurmagomedov's record of 12 consecutive UFC wins with points victory; Alexander Volkanovski retains featherweight title with split decision win over Max Holloway.
Kamaru Usman has defeated Jorge Masvidal to retain his welterweight championship in a unanimous decision at UFC 251 in the United Arab Emirates.
Masvidal, who was called in as a last-minute replacement after Gilbert Burns tested positive for coronavirus, had called Usman "mentally weak" prior to the fight.
But the judges found Usman too strong as they scored the fight 50-45 50-45 and 49-46 in his favour, allowing the Nigerian-American to equal Khabib Nurmagomedov's record of 12 consecutive UFC wins.
