“I believe he has kinda bought that head to him the place he thought he was invincible, and I believe it’s kinda onerous to come back again from that whenever you’ve been on high for thus lengthy. Kinda like Anderson Silva when he was making an attempt to get his belt again. I simply don’t actually assume Usman’s gonna get it again. If Leon Edwards reveals up and fights the entire time like how he fought within the first and the fifth, I believe he finishes Usman once more.”
