Ivan OrekhovCorrespondent SportAll materialsKamaru Usman, who lost the day before by a deaf knockout, did not endure for a minute before winning … The sixth defense of the title for the first number in the rating, regardless of the weight categories (Р4Р), turned into a fail, which will not soon be forgotten by both the American himself and millions fans. Usman failed the first round, confidently took the next three five-minutes and, having relaxed, calmly played for time in the final round. The athlete was looking forward to a record 16th victory in the UFC in a row (the same for the Brazilian legend Anderson Silva). But the championship fight is not a sparring where you can let go of the reins for a while and dream of a sweet future with an impressive check and two belts on your shoulders. Here, a second loss of concentration can, if not cross out, then make past merits fade. The same thing happened in Salt Lake City (USA). 60 seconds before the unconditional victory, by unanimous decision of the judges, the best fighter of the league missed the strongest blow with his left foot to the head and collapsed unconscious on the floor. Leon «Rocky» Edwards, who created the upset, did not even have to finish off the favorite.
