Edwards – Osman III

welterweight championship fight

In August, the dominant UFC heavyweight champion, Kamaru Usman, who was number one regardless of weight class (P4P), made his sixth defense. A lot was at stake, not just the title: Had it been successful, Nigerian Nightmare would have earned a record, 16th consecutive UFC victory (same as legendary Brazilian Anderson “Spider” Silva). Hold on to Usman for a minute, the athlete might refer to himself as one of the greatest in mixed martial arts history.

But he couldn’t stand it. Taking the second, third and fourth rounds in the “championship” against the mentally collapsed Briton Leon “Rocky” Edwards in the octagon, the champion slowed in anticipation of a historic record. He then passed out with a unique kick just below his chin.

This is how the real sadness of 2022 came out. Unexpected, challenging… And extraordinary!

Knockout of the Year! The sensation of the year! Top UFC fighter eliminated one minute before victory

And now, the expected completion of the trilogy (Usman won unanimously in 2015). Surviving the nightmare in Salt Lake City, Kamaru painstakingly reminds MMA fans of the course of the second fight and the accidental knockout, while Leon, who hasn’t lost 11 fights, believes in himself and has high hopes for his hometown.

“Knockouts affect fighters in different ways. How old is Usman now, 35 or 36? He wants to come out after the knockout and fight the same guy who knocked him out – let’s see what the results are. This will be his first fight. In someone’s backyard, because the tournament will take my hometown. I’ve never lost in the UK, I use the crowd as energy! I can’t imagine Usman coming out and beating me,” Edwards quotes MMA Junkie.

Odds: 1.3 and 3.2 not in favor of current UFC champion.

Getzhi – Fiziev

Application “fight of the year” according to fans and experts. American Justin Gaethje, who returned from his second defeat in the championship fight, and Rafael Fiziev, who has a six-game winning streak, have 14 doubles for two. He’s also number three and six in the promotion’s best lightweights for his explosive attacking style and knockout power. 27 finishes for two! In general, there will be a fire in the octagon – the probability of the fight lasting all 15 minutes tends to zero.

“He’s so smart and I’m one of the most amazing guys to ever get in the cage. This fight is definitely going to be the best fight of the year! Fiziev is young and hungry, it reminds me of deep waters and drowning there,” Highlight quoted by BJ Penn.

Fiziev intends “tear out the heartFrom the US representative.
