Kamaru Usman breaks Colby Covington's jaw - Finishes him in fifth round

Kamaru Usman is still the UFC welterweight champion. “The Nigerian Nightmare” defeated #2 ranked Colby Covington after a five-round war that almost went to the distance.

With Covington fighting with a broken jaw, and 50 seconds left on the clock in the fifth round, Usman managed to finish “Chaos” with strikes. This was Usman’s first title defense after capturing the UFC welterweight belt from Tyron Woodley in March, 2019.
