In round 1 he was able to keep up with Usman, but from round 2 the champion showed why he has been unbeaten in the UFC in 13 fights.
With hard strikes he sent Burns to the ground. But he saved himself in round 3. There he could not do anything against Usman. Again and again he had to take hard hits. The referee breaks off after 34 seconds – TKO!
The dreams burst in the hail of punches.
While Usman is partying, Burns bursts into tears. He crouches on the ground, can no longer hold back his emotions.
