Leon Edwards’ coach Dave Lovell has opened up on the motivational speech that he gave his fighter ahead of the final round of UFC 278’s main event, in which Edwards knocked out Kamaru Usman to become UFC welterweight champion.
Edwards was down on the scorecards on Saturday night, on course for a decision loss to Usman – seven years after being outpointed by the Nigerian-American in their first clash. But with a minute left in the fight, Edwards produced a stunning head-kick KO to become Britain’s second ever UFC champion.
