Kamaru Usman's daughter carried out of arena after witnessing Leon Edwards KO

Kamaru Usman's distraught eight-year-old daughter had to be carried out of the arena after seeing her dad knocked out cold by Leon Edwards.

Usman was cruising towards a sixth successive defence of his welterweight title at UFC 278 on Saturday night when Edwards landed a perfect head kick in the final round. The champion hit the canvas unconscious as the fight was waved off in dramatic fashion.

Footage was later shared of the crowd's reaction with fans spotting Samirah being consoled in the front rows. It was reported that she was immediately taken from the venue as her dad was treated.
