Nigerians have been reacting to Kamaru Usman’s loss of the UFC welterweight championship title to England’s Leon Edwards over the weekend.
While reacting online and offline, Nigerians expressed both feeling of pains and disappointment after fellow countryman lost his UFC title.
Edwards (19-3 MMA, 11-2 UFC) prevented Usman (20-2 MMA, 15-1 UFC) from tying Anderson Silva’s record for most consecutive octagon victories when he earned a fifth-round knockout victory to win the 170-pound belt in the headlining bout at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City.
After suffering a unanimous decision loss to Usman at UFC on FOX 17 in December 2015, Edwards got his revenge in the rematch and became the second British titleholder in UFC history, joining Michael Bisping.
