Kamaru Usman tried to silence critics who claim he doesn’t go for finishes by going all out against Warlley Alves. Even though the fight went to the scorecards, Usman more than proved he was willing to push hard for a stoppage.
The welterweight bout was part of the main card of today’s UFC Fight Night 100 event at Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Sao Paulo. It aired on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.
Usman (9-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) pursued Alves (10-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) for three rounds, bloodying up the Brazilian en route to a unanimous decision win. After some strong early strikes, Alves wilted under the pressure and power of Usman, fading down the stretch.
The final scorecards read 29-27, 30-26 and 29-28 for Usman.
