After a legendary battle at UFC 278, the former champion Kamaru Usman has responded to the historic upset by Leon Edwards. Making it clear that he will be back, and he’s coming for vengeance.
The battle was indeed of epic proportions. In a blur of fantasy and reality, Edwards landed a perfectly timed trip on Usman in the first round to solidify a takedown. It almost didn’t seem real, as the former champion had been such an unstoppable grappling force for so long. Yet, it was real. ‘Rocky’ even ended up taking the back of his Nigerian adversary, threatening a rear naked choke until the first round ended.
After the first, things looked pretty dominant for Kamaru Usman, who utilized his piston-like jab and skilled footwork to crowd ‘Rocky’ against the cage, from where he would unleash with nasty hooks and uppercuts, looking to put his foe away.
All props to Leon Edwards though, as he hung tough, weathering the abuse. The rounds passed and the story of the night was of how dejected Edwards was beginning to look. As if he had given it his all and realized it wouldn’t be enough. And then, in one of the greatest instances of corner advice we may have seen: one of Edwards’ corner men completely changed the game.

It was like something out of a movie. In between the fourth and fifth round, the corner man screamed at Edwards to stop feeling sorry for himself. Imploring the fighter to feel that fire that had fueled him on his journey to the current moment. And, in an incredible movie-like moment, that last and final round would be the round where Edwards would land the kick that changed his life, and career, forever.
So there it was. An epic journey by both men that still hasn’t concluded. No matter how legendary the finish by Edwards is, it still won’t go down as the finishing blow to their rivalry. Kamaru Usman would also attest to that, as he took to Twitter to release a few statements about his defeat.
“Champs f$ck up sometimes…” Usman began. “But we bounce back and come with vengeance!! #NGHTMR.” In a later tweet, he addressed the insanity of the finish and how truly unpredictable the sport of MMA is. “Damn I love this sport!!!” Usman continued. “Things happen but… Alhamdulillah we move!! Congratulations @Leon_edwardsmma.”

The loss at UFC 278 was the first ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ has experienced since 2013. The former champion has left a trail of violence behind, and truly earned the reputation of being one of the greatest to ever do it. Struggles make champions, and surely this is just another chapter in Kamaru Usman’s and Leon Edwards’ story. But, who will ultimately go down as the winner of this legendary trilogy? That’s something we’ll just have to wait and see.
Who wins the trilogy fight between Kamaru Usman and Leon Edwards?

Jorge Masvidal teased a matchup with the new UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards.
This past Saturday, Edwards created history by dethroning former champion and pound-for-pound top dog Kamaru Usman at UFC 278. Usman did well in the contest to get the nod on the judges’ scorecards but Edwards’ determination not to go the distance eventually won him the bout. A head kick from Edwards in the last minute knocked Usman out cold, handing him his first loss in the UFC.
Going into the bout, Edwards had expressed a desire to take on Masvidal in his first title defense given he reigns supreme over the 170 lb division. Although a trilogy fight with Usman would be more likely for Edwards next, Masvidal shared his reaction to Edwards winning the title by teasing the potential matchup next.
Jorge Masvidal references the infamous three piece and a soda on his Instagram story
— MMAFighting.com (@MMAFighting) August 21, 2022
Masvidal referenced the infamous quote of serving a “three-piece and a soda,” born in 2019 when “Gamebred” assaulted Edwards in a backstage altercation. Edwards refused to press charges but the two have been on a collision course since then. They were even booked for an outing in Dec. 2021, but an undisclosed injury would see Masvidal pull out of the fight.
He had previously talked about the idea of challenging Edwards and seemed confident he would pair well with the fellow striker. Having already challenged for the title two times, Masvidal may not get an immediate shot at Edwards. He would likely need to wait for the title rematch between Edwards and Usman, which UFC president Dana White confirmed would be next on the table.
On the other hand, Masvidal also needs to take care of his legal issues outside the octagon before he can confirm making a return.
