Kamaru Usman had no idea why he was in ambulance after brutal Leon Edwards KO

Kamaru Usman found himself bewildered after ending up in an ambulance following his loss to Leon Edwards at UFC 278 last month.

The former welterweight champion enjoyed a dominant run to become champion, including a win over Edwards early in their promotional tenures, and held the title for over three years. He appeared to be heading for another successful defence against the Brit until a late head kick knocked him out cold and saw his rival crowned champion.

Usman was immediately taken to hospital after the frightening knockout and now must re-establish himself before going for a world title trilogy with Edwards, that Dana White is keen to make at Wembley Stadium. And speaking with Joe Rogan for his MMA show, the former champion explained how he had no idea why he was in an ambulance when he awoke from the knockout.
