Media Leon Edwards KO Kamaru Usman GIFS

Said screw this shit, turned off the fight with 2 mins left.

<{chips}>

Thanks for GIF's.
 
Nice gifs. Rogan called it wrong, saying Usman was dodging the punch. He was blocking a body kick. He must have been tired. Just needed to step back and keep moving instead of standing there uncharacteristically.
 
I’m a huge Usman fan. Thought he had the makings of being an all time great. And epic. But also like rocky. I’m not sure Usman did anything wrong. He kept coming in the 5th. That kick was just beautiful. I actually don’t even know how to feel. How did that even happen? It wasn’t sloppiness but Usman I don’t think? But maybe someone more versed in striking could tell me otherwise? (I was a college wrestler so that’s where I come from). Leon is such a good dude. Really happy for him. Also I’m glad this wards off Usman BS about fighting all these non ufc guys in boxing or whatever

so Usman uses excessive head movement and bobbing and weaving to slip punches. This is great in boxing where there are no headkicks.

But in kickboxing or K-1 you don’t see this from kickboxers because a a punch high kick combo will get you killed.

Essentially Edwards through a cross and Usman bobbed his head right (to avoid the cross) into the incoming high kick which doubles the force of the collision.

Yes. Great analysis. Kickboxers are always static and I guess it’s for this reason. So is this similar to Dom’s recent KO? Because he has ridiculous unorthodox head movement, and chito timed it perfectly and landed his kick right into doms slipping head movement
 
Usman wanted to box canelo and even talked shit when Canelo lost to bivol… this guy deserves this humbling
 
It might be recent bias and the whole circumstances of the KO. This has gotta be a front runner for my KO of the Year.
 
I actually despise Usman as a mma fan, he’s boring as duck and he’s completely disrespectful. Taunting and following edwards kn between rounds. It couldn’t have happened to a nicer fellow

You're wrong, duck usually isn't found in a boring dish.
