Kamaru Usman

UFC 278 was a sensational event for a blockbuster main event. The knockout of Kamaru Usman has led to some hysterical content!

Kamaru Usman was astonishingly head kicked to bring an end to his reign of terror. The superiority displayed by Usman, since he claimed the throne, was finally put to rest.

A formidable force, ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ waltzed through his opponents since he claimed the coveted UFC Welterweight championship in March of 2019.

His conquests included the likes of Gilbert Burns, Colby Covington, and Jorge Masvidal. Out of which, the 35-year-old obliterated the latter two twice.

What was once a 19-fight win streak, was shut out in stunning fashion, by new undisputed UFC Welterweight champion, Leon Edwards.

Edwards landed the kick of a lifetime, when his shin struck the temple of Usman’s head, leaving him knocked out cold with his eyes wide open. A finish that is forever etched into UFC history, given the circumstances and stakes of the fight.

The knockout of Kamaru Usman was heard around the world! And with the knockout loss, comes a ton of memes, some from UFC fighters themselves!
