UFC 258 takes place Saturday inside UFC APEX in Las Vegas, and the shock of the night will be contested for the welterweight championship. In the main event, Kamaru Usman will put his title and perfect UFC record on the line as he takes on the hot Gilbert Burns. The fight is the third title defense for Usman and Burns’ first UFC gold shot.
Burns has won six straight fights, including wins in 2020 over Demian Maia and former welterweight champion Tyron Woodley to earn his title shot. Usman, who recently successfully defended his title against Jorge Masvidal at UFC 251, left Sanford MMA, where he was a teammate with Burns, to train with Trevor Wittman in preparation for the fight and attempt to run his streak. of wins to 17. A win would also give Usman the longest winning streak in UFC welterweight history.
