JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — UFC 261 returned a sense of normalcy to the sports world with a packed house, a raucous crowd and another victory for Kamaru Usman. Usman extended his winning streak to 18 straight by knocking out Jorge Masvidal with a right punch to the jaw early in the second round and retaining his welterweight belt. It was the last of three title bouts, but hardly the most surprising. Rose “Thug” Namajunas stunned Zhang Weili to take the strawweight belt. Flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko totally dominated Jessica Andrade to retain her belt.
