After unloading 19 heavy low kicks on Randy Brown in the opening round, ‘Marretinha’ proceeded to finish the fight with a huge knee at the 1:40 mark of round two.

Dana White has clearly picked a proverbial hill to die on with his claims that Kamaru Usman is the greatest welterweight in mixed martial arts history. This is a sentiment that the UFC CEO and president has stated over the last few years, with a recent laying down of a challenge for anyone to outline to him who the best 170-pound fighter in the history of the sport is. This was expressed by the prolific combat sports promoter during an appearance on the Pound 4 Pound podcast, which features co-hosts Henry Cejudo and the aforementioned Usman. Dana White and Kamaru Usman had a playful moment referencing a past comment made by ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ that got under the skin of White.
