Kamaru Usman Suffers a Tough Loss to Khamzat Chimaev by Majority Decision, Extending His 2-Year Challenge

Usman won the second round by throwing strikes, but never had much swagger to his moves.

Chimaev, on the contrary, was far more controlled and patient.

Chimaev held Usman down for most of the second half of the final round and won the score card of the judges.
