Khamzat Chimaev fears his UFC rival Kamaru Usman will never recover from his brutal knockout loss to Leon Edwards.
Usman lost his welterweight title when he was knocked out with a head kick from Edwards with less than a minute left in their title fight last month. The defeat put an end to Usman's 20-fight unbeaten run and saw him lose his status as the UFC's pound-for-pound No.1 fighter.
Two weeks on from the fight, Usman is in good health and insists a weight has been lifted off his shoulders after suffering his first UFC loss. 'The Nigerian Nightmare' compared being knocked out to taking a 20-minute nap and said he had no idea why he was in an ambulance after the fight. Chimaev fears that after the devastating knockout, Usman will never be the same quality of fighter again.
