Kamaru Usman is closing in on the record for most consecutive wins at welterweight, which is currently held by mixed martial arts legend Georges St-Pierre.<\/p>\n

Usman (16-1 MMA) is currently riding a fourteen-fight win streak, which has seen him capture and now defend the UFC’s coveted welterweight title.<\/p>\n

‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ took home that UFC’s welterweight strap early last year at UFC 235, this after he dominated Tyron Woodley on route to a unanimous decision victory.<\/p>\n

Most recently Kamaru Usman successfully defended his throne for the first time by scoring a fifth round TKO<\/a> victory over bitter rival Colby Covington at last month’s UFC 245 event in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

While Usman has a long way to go before threating Georges St-Pierre’s welterweight record of nine consecutive title defenses, he is not far from leaping ‘GSP’ in the consecutive wins department.<\/p>\n

\"ufc<\/p>\n

St-Pierre put together a stretch of twelve consecutive UFC welterweight wins over the course of December 2007 until November of 2013 when he last competed in the division.<\/p>\n

Kamaru Usman is currently riding an eleven fight win streak in the promotions<\/a> welterweight division and if he has it his way, when it comes time to break St-Pierre’s record, he wants to do so against the Canadian himself.<\/p>\n

“2020, the only thing that makes sense, I’m right there about to break the record for most consecutive wins (at welterweight) and I’m the champion,” Usman explained to MMAFighting<\/a>. “The guy that holds the record, the guy that’s just above me, is Georges St-Pierre. It’s only right that I break that record on Georges St-Pierre.”<\/p>\n

Before that record-setting fight with ‘GSP’ could happen, Usman will first have to pickup another victory to tie the Canadians record.<\/p>\n

‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ does have options for his next contest, including surging division contenders Leon Edwards and Jorge Masvidal.<\/p>\n
