UFC 285 Edwards vs Usman 03/18 PPV

[MR. BMJ]

Round 2 was close! Edwards had him wobbled, lol. Kamaru came back some though.

Sbhit, i'm not a good commentator though lol

Round 3 tough to call. I feel Edwards had the better round, but he had a point taking away for grabbing the fence. So like how is that counted....a 9-9???

If Usman won, then we are 28-28....weird.

Edwards is more tired after 4. I thjink I had him winning the 4th. he stuffed like 3-4 of Usman's takedowns. Great takedown defense. On the standup, Edwards wins.

 

[MR. BMJ]

Holy crap, I think I also gave the 5th to Edward....gotta see how they judge this!

 

[MR. BMJ]

Edwards put together the THE gameplan to beat Usman......phenomenal plan and performance!

Edwards had great leg and body kicks. His Takedown defense was tailor-made for Usman. Usman didn't get but maybe 1 takedown the whole fight. The one time he took Edwards down, Edwards got back to the feet. He also had some great clench and knee kicks to the head.

What a fight! Leon Edwards shakes up 170 for sure. I thought he would get walked through.

Damn fellas I forgot it started early, I went to the fishing expo and got home to se it was already on. I caught the whole main even t. Wished I saw the rest. Great fight. I am glad Edwards pulled it out. His ability to stop the TD is the GREATEST advantage if you are a striker in MMA. Now we can see other matches at 170. I love when a dominant champ gets beaten, great to shake things up.

Will have to go back and watch the fight of the night. Gaethje vs Fiziev.

In the Edwards vs Usman fight, Usman is indeed a dominant fighter, but Edwards has shown great skill and versatility in the octagon. It's hard to predict the outcome of the fight, as both fighters are highly skilled and capable of winning. It will definitely be an exciting matchup to watch.
