Kamaru Usman's Current Reign Comes To An End

2 years agoFifty-six seconds is all Kamaru Usman needed to hold onto if he wanted to remain the welterweight champion. Up 3-1 on the scorecards heading into the fifth round on Saturday, it was all but locked in that Usman would walk out of the Octagon as the champion. However, a dynamic head kick out of nowhere by Leon Edwards ended Usman's night and his current reign over the welterweight division. Greatly out-striking Edwards in 24:06 of action, Usman landed 189 total strikes compared to that of Edwards' 64. It only takes one hit, though, and that's exactly how Edwards was able to defeat the champion. Look for an immediate rematch in the future for both of these competitors.--Matt Bricker - RotoBaller
