Saturday, August 20th is a day that MMA, UFC, and fans in attendance won’t forget. Leon Edwards knocked out Kamaru Usman in the 5th round with 0:56 seconds left on the clock. Becoming the UFC welterweight champion.
Leon, the one who everybody said had no connection with the fans, needs to start smack talking to get people on his side, and a boring fighter changed all that after one of the best headkick knockouts in UFC history. Leon had a very emotional post fight interview expressing everything that has gone on over his life over the last 4 years leading up to this fight eventually having the whole crowd chanting “Rocky!” his name in the end.
So why is he not number 1 pound-for-pound?
If there is one thing that is obvious it’s that the rankings do not make sense. Leon Edwards has just beat the number 1 pound-for-pound. By knockout. And he isn’t even on the list.
Rocky is not even listed as the welterweight champ!
