It's a headkick heard around the world that UFC 278 Saturday night in Salt Lake City.

As Leon Edwards provides UFC fans with the ultimate Rocky moment in the main event.

My name is Brian Campbell, one half of your morning combat duo, given it to you live right

now, after midnight on the East Coast here, 278, what the heck am I going to say?

The cruelest sport, indeed.

Leon Edwards who opened this fight in this main event by doing something no one had ever

done before, taking down Kamara Usman, having success on the ground, nearly getting in a

choke to close the round.

But what we saw in rounds two, three, four, and what was said on the UFC broadcast, rather

are justifiably so, that not only did Leon Edwards seem like he was on his way to a

sleepy decision loss, seeing Thomas saying as much on the broadcast that it looked like

he was happy with it.

He was just happy to get a moral win by losing, and he delivers one left kick to the head

of the pound for pound King Kamara Usman.

One win away from attempting to equal Anderson, Silva's vaunted UFC record winning streak

of 16, closing in a couple defenses away on GSP for Walter Wake Goat ship, and overall,

you know the narrative entering this week, where's Usman in the all-time rankings?

What else does he have to do to get there?

This is why maybe Luke Thomas is right, my other half of morning combat.

You never can be sure when it comes to predictions.

As much as I got killed this week for predicting Usman by fourth round submission, it suddenly

looked like a finish that was very much in play with the way this fight was going.
