It’s no secret there’s a shared past between Kamaru Usman and Gilbert Burns . The two UFC welterweights trained for many years together under the tutelage of Henri Hooft in South Florida. However, that’s no longer the case, as Usman (17-1 MMA, 12-0 UFC) and Burns (19-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) are set to clash on Saturday night in the main event of UFC 258 in Las Vegas. Usman defends his 170-pound title for a third time against first-time challenger Burns.
