Former UFC Lightweight Champion Khabib Nurmagomedov commented on the early defeat to the press Kamaru Usman in battle with Leon Edwards.
“I was surprised, and even a little upset, because I have a very good, close relationship with Kamaru, and of course, it was hard to watch how the best fighter in the world flew 50 seconds before the end of the fight into a deep knockout. Like everyone else, I thought that the way the battle went, according to that scenario, it would end. But these are fights, this is MMA, and you can see for yourself - you missed a second, didn’t put the protection in the right way, the light may turn off, and you can wake up in the locker room when everything is finished, ”Khabib said.
Recall that Usman lost to Edwards by knockout in the main fight of UFC 278, having missed a kickkick in the last minute of the fifth round.
