Kamaru Usman is human after all, just a momentary downing of guard due to concentration loss cost him a fight he was supposed to win. We are only stronger and better in defeat, only joy in victory is the celebration.

For those saying Dem don beat person wey dey boast about beating person pikin, d hype in the match is necessary nah, after all it's strictly a show for entertainment and if you don't hype, how do you get ppl to watch it and get paid for the fight?

After all the noise he made on twitter, that’s why it’s not good to boast about a match you have not won yet, hopefully he will come out stronger In the rematch. Two Nigerians lost their belts in one Night.

Wrong, bro. Just one lost his belt. The other one was trying to reclaim a lost belt.

A shadow of things to come. Come 2023, APC and PDP will be surprised. You can't be a champion forever!
Re: UFC 278: Leon Edwards Defeats Usman Kamaru by Theone123: 7:44am On Aug 21, 2022
I think this was just a case of Kamaru being overconfident. He literally saw the fight as a walkover and in the end, he let down his guard and got served...

He'll surely bounce back.

Kamaru will beat the Edwards guy in rematch,,,Edwards was just lucky with that head kick

I followed Leon Edward going into this fight and I knew the possibility of pulling of a trick is at 60%. Dude has had consecutive wins on his belt with tremendous improvements since he last fought Usman. He has improved on his take down defence and wrestling which he never had before. He had tidied up his weakness going into this fight, all that increased his confidence all round, his fight IQ is also very high.
Personally, he doesn't like the fact that people rate Usman No1 pound for pound fighter even ahead of Jon Jones. He also really hate the fact that strong as he is, he was easily written off. In his words, " if I beat Usman, I hope people won't make an excuse for him, hope they would keep same energy". This was strong self believe I had thought AJ would go into his fight with but unfortunately he was rather a motivational speaker than a man prepared to win. Usman would definitely bounce back, dude's self confidence is top high and soon would regain his belt.

Watched it live...
Happened like a flash... I couldn't believe it
My brain couldn't process it. Seeing the Nigerian nightmare go out like that... When he's won all round with less than 2mins to go.

That's mma mehn! So unpredictable
At just a tinkle of an eye, a guy is slept into shadow realm for good.

I hope they offer him an instant rematch though. Khamzat Chimaev be dancing now
Nothing and nobody lasts forever.

Kamoru was counting down when the fat lady had not sang. Never loose guard until the fat lady sings. He'll win the rematch though.

I don't know why igbos on Twitter are mocking AJ?


Kamuru was dominant in that fight. I didn't know how he let that lazy kick catch him.
You really want to start this tribalism nonsense again, I've been on Twitter all day and haven't come across any Igbo person mocking Usman, stop been mischievous.

Head kick is part of the game. Usman has now been exposed, his opponents henceforth would aim at hitting him where it hurt him most. kamaru's strongest point is grappling & take downs. Just as in boxing, one punch or a kick could end a match. I wish Usman all the best.
