The MMA world was stunned this past August when UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman lost his title thanks to a Hail Mary kick.
Leon Edwards was dominated by Edwards for nearly five full rounds. He was on his way to a landslide decision loss when he drilled Usman with a head kick and put him out cold to win the 170-pound title.
Usman said the pressure was on him in that fight because of his 15-fight UFC winning streak and aura of invincibility, which had people hoping he’d lose. On “The Pivot Podcast” with co-hosts and former NFL standouts Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder and Fred Taylor, Usman said people were hoping he’d lose.
