WOAH!! What a KNOCKOUT! Who would have thought that Usman was the first fighter to knock out Masvidal out cold. Usman just keeps on improving every fight. Usman landed a brutal right straight that could Masvidal off guard. No more excuses Usman is just the better fighter.

UFC 261 is the first event where it was in 100% full capacity, and the card certainly delivered. It will be remembered in many years to come. Usman is on the path to become one of the superstars in the game.

Jorge Masvidal just suffered his first knockout loss against Welterweight Champion. Usman may have been a heavy favorite in the fight but no one would have thought a knockout finish, since Usman is known for being a wrestler.

In the first round, Usman focused more getting the timing of Masvidal and tried to land jabs to the body more. Masvidal then tried to land a flying knee where he missed badly, where Usman capitalized with a takedown. It might have won him the round.

On to the second round, Usman landed some clean punches where Masvidal responded with a smile and hands down. Masvidal became a too cocky with his striking, where he landed the overhand right that ended the night. It will probably go down as one of the most jaw-dropping knockouts in UFC history.

The Masvidal era is now probably coming to an end. How it started is the same way on how it ended with a stone cold knockout. It was a fun ride till it lasted, and Masvidal is still and elite fighter at the end of the day. He revived his career after suffering many losses which is impressive.

As for Usman, what is next for him? He is just too good and levels beyond his competitors. He has beaten the number 1 to 4 ranked fighters in the division and the only fight next for him would be a rematch with Colby Covington since Covington was the fighter that gave him the most trouble.

After this performance, people will surely compare Usman to the greatest welterweight, George St Pierre. Of course, GSP has a lot of achievements where many even consider him one of the greatest mixed martial artist of all time, but Usman also has the potential to surpass him. Usman is still undefeated in the UFC, surpassed his win streak and is knocking out his opponents. Though GSP has more title defenses and also won the middleweight strap.
