Kamaru Usman’s title defense against Leon Edwards didn’t go the way Ali Abdelaziz and Henry Cejudo had anticipated.
Abdelaziz, who manages Usman and several other fighters at Dominance MMA, was sat ringside with Cejudo for the UFC 278 main event when Edwards knocked out Usman with a vicious head kick in the fifth round of the fight.
Their reaction was caught on camera and uploaded to Triple C’s YouTube channel.
Easy money? Not really, bro.
Edwards was down 3-1 on the judges’ scorecards and expected to lose a unanimous decision before flattening Usman with a head kick with just under a minute to go, marking one of the greatest comebacks (and knockouts) in UFC history.
