Kamaru Usman turned in a vintage performance against upstart Emil Meek, using his grappling and ground and pound to earn a decision.

It wasn’t the highlight-reel affair Usman (12-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC)wanted to convince UFC executives he’s ready for a title shot. But after 15 minutes, he outpointed Meek (9-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC), and picked up his seventh straight UFC win.

The final scorecards were 30-27 for Usman, who after his win called out fellow welterweight contender Colby Covington.

Meek, a sizable underdog in betting lines, made things interesting early by storming in with punches and slapping on a guillotine choke when Usman changed levels. Stuck in the submission attempt, Usman endured a few tense moments before scooting his foe to the cage. There, he set the rhythm he would follow for the majority of the fight.

Every time Meek got too zealous in chasing down Usman with punches, he found himself fighting off a takedown attempt. Elbows helped delay the trip, but didn’t change the itinerary. On his back, he tried to damage Usman with a flurry from the bottom in the second. Usman replied with his own attack of elbows that shut it down.

Usman spent the majority of the final frame in the driver’s seat, firing down elbows and punches as his opponent floundered in a vain attempt to get back to his feet.

“I said from the start that (Meek_ wouldn’t be able to hang with me,” Usman said. “No one can. That’s why all of the guys in this division run from me. It is time for me to fight someone ranked above me. I want Colby Covington. He likes to talk a lot and I’ll be the one to shut him up. Dana White, that’s the fight. Let’s go.”
