The Nigerian dominated Masvidal last year over five rounds, but was not satisfied with his performance.
However, in their rematch, Kamaru knocked out his rival with a devastating right hand and finished it up on the ground.
The knockout was recorded at 1 minute, 2 seconds of the second round in the main event of UFC 261 in Jacksonville, Florida.
With the victory, Kamaru defended his 170-pound title.
It was the first time the famously durable Masvidal had been finished by KO/TKO since 2008.
The fight happened in front of a capacity crowd – the first time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Jacksonville, Florida — y’all said you wanted violence? You’re welcome.
“With my fundamentals, I am the pound-for-pound best fighter on the planet right now,” Usman said.
