UFC 286: Kamaru Usman Lost To Edwards Again

 


Akinkunle Bolarinwa 


The trilogy match between Kamaru Usman and Leon Edwards at UFC 286 in London, lived up to expectations with Leon Edwards retaining his welterweight stripe .


The two fought back in August with Edwards becoming the new welterweight champ with a fifth-round head kick


In this trilogy fight night the judges scored Edwards higher to give the decision victory against Usman after  five gruelling rounds.


Apexmedia2020.blogspot.com believes Edwards deserves the win, Immediately Kamaru couldn't take him down within the stipulated five rounds. 


Usman also didn't really do anything extraordinary and Kamaru Usman didn’t look bad at all though. 


He looked prepared, as much as he could be but the problem is that Edwards’s lateral movement, takedown defence and kicking attacks were just refined and effective on the night.


He was so sharp and a very deserving champion.


Wrestling defence and fighting on the fence was great from Leon

And those leg kicks count as strikes.


 Kamaru Usman will weigh up his options to quit UFC and face other businesses.
