“Love Seeing a Classy Champion” -Chris Pratt Praises Kamaru Usman for His Win at UFC 268
Kamaru Usman versus Colby Covington at UFC 268 was one of the most awaited fights. Especially after how their first bout ended. Both the fighters looked confident and ready to give their very best. Usman stepped into the octagon as the dominant fighter and successfully defended his title for the fifth time. Covington had to face defeat yet again.
Before his bout with Covington, Usman also achieved 50 clean USADA tests and put all cheating allegations to rest. Thus, further proving his legitimacy as an extraordinary UFC fighter. He has won against some of the best fighters like Jorge Masvidal, Colby Covington, Gilbert Burns, and Tyron Woodley. This depicts that he is on an entirely different level.

It seems that Usman’s fighting skills and strength have won over Chris Pratt as well. The fighter has earned his well-deserved recognition, after all. With a great MMA record of 20 wins and just 1 loss, many including Pratt believe that Usman might emerge to be one of the best fighters UFC has ever seen.
‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ is currently ruling the UFC’s welterweight division. He has brutally destroyed the best fighters in the division. Hence, there seem to be very few fighters who can truly challenge Usman and push him to his limits.
That was one of the craziest first rounds I think I’ve ever seen. WTF!? Dude!!! If you’re not watching #UFC268 stop what you’re doing and quickly watch it.
