I am speechless. So unexpected. A perfect kick.

I’ve been following the sport closely for 6-7 years now and this might be the best moment I’ve seen form an unbiased perspective.

Down 3 rounds to 1 going on 4..against the guy everyone believes is P4P best in the world..less than a minute on the clock..hail mary head kick..FLUSH.

I thought Edwards won the first round… and was in position a couple times to get to a finish. Then it was all Usman until the last strike. What a fight.

Yeah man I have never seen anything like that. You always think it’s possible in a boxing match but it never happens. It just happened. Reason is he wasn’t beat. He was just losing.

I don’t really follow the sport, just happened to turn it on tonight. That ending was a blast!

I've been watching since 2006 and the only thing that compares is Anderson submitting Sonnen in their first fight after getting dominated for 23 or 24 minutes.

The last 1-1.5 hours is the best I’ve seen in a long time from a storyline perspective. Card finished off with two god damn movie fights

This is Usman's first KO loss. Some dudes just aren't right after getting knocked out like that. Who knows...

How does UFC lose the feed when Leon starts to break down on the phone with his family. Unbeleivable.

I don’t care if a fighter is getting dominated. Edwards finally gets his shot, and he looks like he would rather not be there. Combat sports is crazy. I feel like Edwards doesn’t deserve this, but until that final born blows it just takes one shot.

I’m not even an Edwards hater. I had a feeling all day he would pull this out. His performance just left a bad taste in my mouth.

Disagree, I think he was absolutely best until between the 4th and 5th when his coach opened up and told him the truth and stop feeling sorry for himself. Something the truth is just what people need

Just glad we don’t have to pretend that Usman is the greatest WW of all time anymore, GSP will always have that honor.

Put Paddy Pimblet and Leon v Usman on a December card in England and it will be one of the most incredible fight atmospheres in UFC history.

He made the decision to go forward. That decision puts his health at risk but it also had a chance of winning the fight. He took the risk and it paid off.

Tate vs holmes was another great title fight finish in the last round by the fighter getting dominated.

This narrative that he gave up is just false. He was getting beat badly, his kick was a hail mary, but he never mailed it in.

You just happened to buy a PPV for a sport you don’t follow?

Another one was like 15 years ago on a Spike card.
