At the end of an absolutely outstanding night for MMA, most of Kamaru Usman's colleagues in the UFC came out to show their respect after he defeated Jorge Masvidal in the main vent of UFC 261.
Take a look below for the respect Usman got from most of his colleagues, and the massive amount of disrespect he received from his rival Colby Covington.
