Leon Edwards produced one of the greatest comebacks in UFC history by knocking out Kamaru Usman earlier this month, but the Brit has been accused of intentionally cheating in the title fight.
Edwards, 31, was losing the majority of his the UFC 278 fight before producing a last-gasp head kick to knockout Usman with less than a minute left. 'Rocky' became the first Jamaican-born and second British champion in UFC history with the win, but he has now been accused of cheating by by grabbing the fence multiple times before he produced the Hail Mary kick.
MMA analyst Chael Sonnen said of the fight: "There’s a lot more in Edwards versus Usman and nobody spoke of it. Leon cheated in that match a whole bunch of times. That is not a headline or a topic that is out there anywhere. I do not want to be the one to bring that to you. I’m not giving Leon a hard time, for the story to be told accurately, nobody’s wanting to touch that.
