Former UFC light-heavyweight champion Rashad Evans was sitting cageside next to Kamaru Usman's daughter as she watched her father be brutally knocked out by Leon Edwards on Saturday.
The legendary ex-fighter is a close friend of Usman's and works under the same management stable; Dominance MMA. He was in Salt Lake City to watch what was expected to be another title defence for the Nigerian fighter, who hadn't lost since his second fight as a professional in 2013.
But Edwards hadn't read the script and with less than a minute to go in a fight that Usman was winning relatively comfortably, he landed a vicious head kick to become the new champion. Evans was sitting with his pal's family, and told of how his eight-year-old daughter Samirah let out a loud scream when she saw her father get knocked out.
