UFC 261 record rundown: Can Kamaru Usman add to his UFC record?

On February 12, Kamaru Usman was tied for the longest winning streak in UFC welterweight history. Unbeaten since he joined the promotion in 2015, Usman had scored victories in 12 straight fights. During that run, Usman won the welterweight crown and defended it twice. His third title defense was scheduled for February 13, 2021, opposite Gilbert Burns. A win would put Usman at 13 consecutive victories and break the tie he was in with Georges St-Pierre.

Thirty-four seconds into the third stanza of his fight against Burns, Usman stood alone. The 33-year-old knocked out Burns, retained his title, and won his 13th straight fight. On Saturday, the champion looks to defend his 170-pound crown a fourth time and keep his winning streak alive when he faces Jorge Masvidal in the main event of the UFC 261 pay-per-view card.

Besides his lengthy winning streak, Usman has several other UFC welterweight records, including a 100 percent takedown defense and zero seconds of total bottom position time. And for those who think of Usman as a wrestler, he has set many single fight records based on his striking in the welterweight division. That includes landing the most total leg strikes in a UFC 170-pound bout when he faced. Masvidal in 2020. In that matchup, which Usman won by unanimous decision, the champion landed 93 total leg strikes.

Below is a look at the UFC records of Usman and Masvidal before their rematch at the top of the UFC 261 fight card.

UFC 261 takes place Saturday at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida. The main card streams on ESPN+ pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+ and early prelims on ESPN+ and UFC Fight Pass.
