WOW!!  I'm still in shock!!!!

I've been watching MMA since 2008, seen a tonne of fights, tonnes of head kicks, last minute come from behind wins.  I think that may be the greatest I've ever seen.
When you put all the circumstances together.  The fight,  the clean AF technique, the 1 shot out cold KO,  Usman on the verge of greatness,  the commentators literally talking about Edwards giving up!!!!! Just perfection!!!!!!!

Yeah I guess I kinda did call the kick!  I'm not claiming any thing tho!! Ha 

I thought Leon could catch Usman like that cold in the 1st, not in the 25th minute!!!! And, I still feckin picked Usman!!!

Wittman started UFC 274 with a chance of having 3 champions in the UFC, after Rose's loss against Esparza and tonight Usman's loss against Edwards that number of champions was reduced to zero.
Wittman is an excellent striking coach, but MMA is a sport where cycles start and end pretty quickly.

I'm not sure I'd back the Khmazat that fought burns over Leon.

Dana just said that if they will do a rematch between Leon and Kamaru they will try to do it in the Wembley stadium in London. Which would be huge. It has a capacity of 90000 spectators. That would be wild. I doubt they can sellout the place, but you never know with those crazy English lol
