The welterweight rivalry between Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington reached far beyond the eight caged walls of the UFC octagon, but Usman definitively asserted his dominance with a late TKO finish as he retained his UFC welterweight title against the trash-talking former interim champ at UFC 245 . Covington was booed and jeered to the cage as he walked out to Kurt Angle’s famous WWE walkout song, and those same fans were cheering as, after four back-and-forth rounds that saw both men tested, Usman made the crucial breakthrough to finish his rival in the final minute of the bout at T-Mobile Arena. Covington looked to overwhelm Usman with his pace early, but the champion kept his cool and picked his shots well as he preserved his energy for the full five-round duration. The action was well-contested, with Covington looking to outwork the champion, while Usman’s shots appeared to connect with more power
