The knockout came when there was just under a minute to go, with Edwards trailing three rounds to one. Despite Edwards winning the fight, MMA analyst Laura Sanko believes that he didn't look his best, and that a potential trilogy would be more entertaining.

While some fighters may not like immediate rematches, Kamaru Usman's dominance of the welterweight division should guarantee him one against Edwards. While speaking with Submission Radio, MMA analyst Laura Sanko gave her take on Leon Edwards' performance at UFC 278 (starting at the 16:25 mark): "I think it's going to be a much more interesting fight than this one because I think both of them are going to be different. I really don't think that this was Leon's greatest performance. I don't think he looked good at all... I shouldn't say good at all, he looked great, in moments, but he's normally much more consistent in a fight than that." Edwards is the first man to defeat Usman in the UFC. While both fighters didn't look their best at the Salt Lake City altitude, something Sanko later alluded to, it will be interesting to see if Edwards can reach another level now that he's champion.
