UFC President Dana White commented on the sensational victory Leon Edwards above Kamaru Usman.
“I thought Usman was showing the perfect fight. This is crazy, because I listened to the commentators, and they perfectly noticed everything, pointed out Edwards' mistakes, told him what to do. They only said about it - and he hits this high-kick. I think this is one of the most shocking finishes in a title fight considering what was at stake for Usman today. Plus, Kamaru fought with maximum confidence throughout the fight. He fought the perfect fight. Perhaps it was not the most spectacular style, but he punched hard punches to the body, head, elbows. Usman showed a perfect performance until the last minute, ”said the functionary.
Recall that Edwards knocked out Usman with a kick at the end of the fifth round.
