Edwards scored a huge comeback win over Usman on Saturday night, knocking 'The Nigerian Nightmare' out with hardly a minute left in the bout. Like the rest of the MMA community, Adesanya also screamed in disbelief as 'Rocky' put Usman to sleep with a perfectly timed left head kick. The Kiwi's initial reaction was one of sheer dejection as he shut his eyes and leaned on his friend who was sitting by his side. Adesanya also claimed to have already observed that Usman was parrying too low. The UFC middleweight champion said: "I was saying the parry... He was parrying too low... Man, dangerous. In the f***ing last round. F***k. But still f***k [dejected]."

While contemplating a move up, Usman skipped the middleweight division to avoid a clash against Adesanya. View this post on Instagram Instagram Post 'The Last Stylebender' was admittedly saddened to see Usman getting dethroned by Leon Edwards in the UFC 278 headliner. However, Adesanya was happy for his manager Tim Simpson, who also manages the newly crowned champion, Edwards. While he is sad for Usman, Adesanya is aware that the former champion's rubber match against 'Rocky' is inevitable. 'The Last Stylebender' further said on his YouTube channel: "As much as I am happy for Leon, I'm more happy for team. Because, Tim, our manager, I know how much this meant to him. It's bittersweet. I'm so happy for Leon and Tim. But then I'm so sad for Kamaru. But then also I know, like the rematch... they're gonna have a rematch clause or something so I know it's gonna be in there."
