Kamaru Usman’s knockout loss against Leon Edwards felt like a computer rebooting.
Usman looked to defend his welterweight title for the sixth time against Edwards at UFC 278 in 2022. “The Nigerian Nightmare” dominated Edwards for majority of the fight and was on his way to a lopsided decision win. However, “Rocky” changed the script by knocking Usman out cold with a brutal head kick with less than a minute left in the fight.
Usman recalls being in his senses as the result was announced and even afterwards when he met his family.
