They could have got it too.

It was supposed to happen sooner, but here we are on Saturday, and I can\u2019t wait. As many people know, Usman is tied with [Georges St-Pierre] for consecutive UFC wins at 12. If he wins this weekend, he breaks GSP\u2019s record for 13. He\u2019s on a 16-fight win streak. This guy has not lost in seven years. He hasn\u2019t lost since 2013.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s going up against Burns, who is a former teammate of his,\u201d White continued. \u201c[Burns is] a multiple time Brazilian jiu jitsu world champion. This guy is also undefeated at welterweight, and he\u2019s got a 74 percent finish rate. This fight is so fun. The only thing we don\u2019t know is who used to get the better of who in the gym when they used to train together.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery weekend I\u2019m telling you why you have to watch this, why you have to watch that.
