Wonder if Usman regrets faking getting hit in the nuts in the 5th round now.


I’m pretty sure he was trying to use that as an excuse as the official decision is being announced. They’re raining Edwards’ hand and Usman is grabbing his nuts and mumbling something

Put Paddy Pimblet and Leon v Usman on a December

Nah, give Leon someone else before the rematch. He said he wants Masvidal but not sure Jorge deserves a title shot. And don't forget Meatball Molly will be on the card too.


Dana said they are pretty much booked up through January already, insinuating Edwards wouldn’t be fighting again until after that. Assuming Usman gets medically suspended for 6 months for the KO anyways, I think it’ll be Edwards - Usman 3 in England in March/April ‘23. The timing works out.

does Dana do Edwards v McGregor at Wembley? It would be a license to print money.


Leon is a bigger welterweight and Conor used to fight at 145.

Also no way Conor deserves a title shot of any kind, but doing that at 170 is not moronic. Leon would also beat the total shite out of Conor.

Would UFC do a co-main of Leon vs Usman and Conor v (insert any name) maybe so, but that's stealing all of Leon's thunder and I don't think Dana would do that.

Conor is a side show. Put him against Masvidal or a Diaz brother. Let the contenders do the 5 rounders

Rumble was getting choked out at WW, then started beating LHW’s and HW’s and fought for LHW championship. One kick is irrelevant to whether or not Usman could beat bigger guys.

That worked out well for Izzy. Going from 170 to 205 would be a breeze

That was the kind of kick that can derail a career.

I know the kick was so perfectly square on Usman's jaw but I genuinely wonder how long doctors will rule before Usman can take contact again.

Anderson Silva knocked out a former LHW champ with a jab. Machida was LHW champ and didn’t cut weight. Rashad was natural 185. Thiago Santos, Anthony Smith, Gegard Mousasi.

Reminiscent of Gabriel Gonzaga knocking out CroCop back in the old days. I don't think CroCop was ever the same.

Usman talked all that shite and walked him down pre-fight...and he got his eyes rolled back in his head. What a KO

Usman didn't even shake his hand at the end. What a bitch. Lost a ton of respect for Usman

Searched on twitter and found the clip of the end

Damn.. that was wild.

Crazy how in nanoseconds your can go from comfortably winning to kicked/KO’d/lights go out
