Leon was confident that he was going to be able to defeat Usman again and he did it even if it was by majority decision and not KO as before. I think he has become used to fighting Usman and then not as much fear as he did the first time they fought were Usman dominated three rounds and would have won by decision had Leon not pulled the Magic kick that Knocked him out. Leon's win settles any doubts that he won the first fight by luck, he deserve the Welterweight title.
For Usman, It is going to be another difficult time for him, he really thought he will be able to reclaim his title, a title held for a long time by him. He worked hard for this fight and prevented Leon any chance to knock him out again. It was a close fight and he could have won. Kamaru Usman after the fight said he was not done and was going to get back up, I will be looking to see maybe he will want to fight Leon again.
Very entertaining and competitive fight from both fighters, Good to watch.
What I have seen was a win for Leon Edwards although not a perfect win because he just got to resort to making those fouls and stuff the number of groin kicks, the number of grabbing the glove and grabbing the ring cage, and the eye pokes which have some history with Belal Muhammad to received a No Contest because of an accidental eye poke, because for me if you did it once that is just an accident and you are in the heat of the battle but Do it multiple times well, I think that is something that needs to be penalized but I am not here to judge just because I go with Kamaru Usman this doesn't make me hate Leon Edwards as a champion but what he is doing with those fouls,
It really was an unbelievable event, Herb Dean just call 2 groin kick against Leon Edwards but I have seen 5 in all, and Kamaru Usman was really complaining the whole fight that he can not focus so much, it goes to show how badly Leon Edwards wants to win this, that he resulted in glove grabbing that Herb Dean doesn't see, cage holding to secure those crucial takedowns from Usman, and an eye poke that Herb Dean also doesn't call that Kamaru Usman needs to shrug off because it wasn't called, while there are a groin kick that Usman fell down and struggles but he eventually needs to shrug it off aswell because it wasn't call as a groin kick I really think Kamaru Usman is feeling really frustrated, I really don't know what to feel for the fight but yeah Leon Edwards still has a great performance Through in through despite all of that fouls he committed, Well we can not blame him in the heat of the battle,
It was really an unbelievable event where Herb Dean doesn't see the glove grabbing of Leon Edwards I think Kamaru Usman could protest about this but surely Dana White doesn't like him anymore, so yeah he surely wants Colby Covington to fight and compete for the belt against Leon Edwards like he used to want, or maybe Conor McGregor to be back again just like what Jon Jones did, in the same manner of fashion, but yeah it was really the officials of the UFC that is deciding who's fighting who and not Dana White,
