Kamaru Usman’s most recent UFC win was a big one.
Back in November 2021, Usman defeated heated rival Colby Covington in a welterweight championship rematch that headlined UFC 268 in New York City. It was a highly anticipated contest where Usman picked up a unanimous decision win over Covington.
The victory stands as Usman’s most recent UFC win, as he went on to lose consecutive bouts to current champion Leon Edwards. It was also his fifth consecutive title defense.

Usman (20-3 MMA, 15-2 UFC) returns to the octagon this Saturday in the co-main event of UFC 294. He moves up to 185 pounds to take on Khamzat Chimaev (12-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) on just 10 days notice, replacing an injured Paulo Costa.
UFC 294 takes place at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. The main card airs on pay-per-view at a special time of 2 p.m. ET following prelims on ESPN+.
