Covington can prove he's the top welterweight in the world by defeating champion Kamaru Usman.
Petr Yan-Urijah Faber – 10:34 p.m.
The opening fight was phenomenal.
Just 43 seconds into round three, Petr Yan defeated Urijah Faber. Yan battered and bruised Faber throughout the fight, but Faber refused to back down. He even picked up a nasty cut on his face from Yan’s face, but it was below the eye so the fight continued. The two talked trash to each other throughout the fight, and the sight of a bloody Faber taunting Yan lit up the crowd.
Yan’s left high kick ended the fight. He now has a nine-fight win streak, and this performance should earn him a title shot against Bantamweight Champion Henry Cejudo. But Cejudo first needs to defend, or vacate, the Flyweight title.
