Usman and Burns were set to square off at UFC 251 in July. Unfortunately, a little over a week before the fight, Burns tested positive for COVID-19 and was pulled from the show. 

Usman stayed on the show and ended up facing heated rival Jorge Masvidal in the headliner. The 170-pound titlist put on a clinic, beating Masvidal by unanimous decision to defend his belt for the second time successfully. 

Even though Burns didn't take on Usman, he still was able to compete inside the Octagon twice in 2020 to cement himself as a top contender. In March, Burns stopped former middleweight and welterweight title challenger Demian Maia and then dominated former welterweight champion Tyron Woodley at the end of May. 

Can Usman continue his quest as the greatest welterweight of all time? Or does Burns pull off the upset and rock the apple cart?
