    Kamaru's whole career changes based off this. No more Anderson Silva win streak. No more Canelo fight and definitely no more 205 aspirations. Tougher argument for GOAT status too. Feel for him, but Leon bided his time and kept putting in work silently as the dark horse of the division for a while. He executed when he needed to most and he deserved to win tonight. Fair play.

    For those saying Edwards got lucky landing that left leg kick perfectly on Usmans jaw, go ahead and try landing one on a professional mma fighter who has blocked thousands of leg kicks in their career both in training and in fights.

    Usman really made this tough for himself. He’s been so cocky lately, the way he dresses and how he talks, the way he called out Canelo, and how he talked about fighting at 205. What makes this even worst is he didn’t just lose, he got knocked stiff by a guy he already beat who isn’t a big name in the division. That ko loss will be a highlighted ko forever and no matter what he does from this point it will live on. And at 35 years old I don’t know if he can come back and beat enough guys to erase that memory from peoples minds.

    Anyone saying he got "lucky" with that kick probably just lost money... I can't say he was "setting it up" the whole fight bc I can't prove that. All I know is about midway during the first Usman-Covington fight I swear I kept saying he's open for that kick. Colby couldn't pull it off, either fight, he tried early on but after trying Usman recognized it. Leon gave nothing away, left hand he slips it, never saw the kick coming. It was a rookie mistake tbh. But a sniper only gets one shot, make it count. He did.

      The whole “lucky” thing is odd to me. They are literally fighting with the goal of knocking the dude out. I’d get it if they were swimming reckless in a scramble and something connected. But Leon fainted a jab, threw up the kick, slept usman, and didn’t even follow up with a strike when usman went down. It was a clean set up kick that landed right on the chin. No luck about it all skill
