Footage has surfaced of Leon Edwards extensively drilling the head kick that he knocked out Kamaru Usman with in their UFC 278 title fight.
Edwards, 30, produced a last-gasp knockout against Usman with less than a minute left in their welterweight title fight to become the first Jamaican-born and second British champion in UFC history. 'Rocky' returned to the UK on Wednesday after his career-defining win and received a hero's welcome from family and friends at Birmingham Airport.
Remarkably, a video has emerged of Edwards practising the fateful kick during training, with his trainers also highlighting the technique whilst breaking down Usman's past fights. The Brit's head coach, Henry Cleminson, can be heard saying in the video: "If he starts throwing some shots and starts dipping his head away, that's when we're looking for the head kick."
