Kamaru Usman says he had no intentions of coasting to a decision win against Leon Edwards at UFC 278. Usman (20-2 MMA, 15-1 UFC) was in control heading into Round 5 of his title fight against Edwards (19-3 MMA, 11-2 UFC), but was caught with a perfect head kick that knocked him out cold with less than a minute remaining. The former champion used his ever-improving hands to knock out the likes of Colby Covington, Gilbert Burns and Jorge Masvidal, but predominantly resorted to his wrestling against Edwards. Up three rounds to one and on his way to winning Round 5, Usman wasn’t about to play it safe, which ultimately cost him.
