How much is a five-round unanimous-decision win over Demian Maia worth? Probably not as much as Kamaru Usman wishes. Usman (13-1 MMA, 8-0 UFC) didn’t put on the emphatic, spectacular performance he promised, but he did still manage to dominate Maia (25-8 MMA, 19-8 UFC) for a victory at UFC Fight Night 129 . The welterweight bout was the main event of this past Saturday’s show from Movistar Arena in Santiago, Chile, and it aired on FS1 following prelims on FS2 and UFC Fight Pass. Usman now boasts an overall 12-fight winning streak, which includes an 8-0 mark in the UFC, after handing Maia the first three-fight skid of his career.
