UFC 278 complete results, Leon Edwards shocked the world, Luke Rockhold is retiring…What is next for Paulo Costa
In the main event, we have witnessed a true Rocky story. After he lost the first round, Kamaru Usman was just controlling the fight, keeping his pace and looked like it will be another routine UFC title defense for him…. BUT…
Less than one minute before the end of the last round, Edwards set up and executed a perfect high kick, Kamaru goes down, the referee jumps in waves off the fight and Leon Edwards is a new Welterweight world champion.
