Fight Card
“Pound-for-pound. Headshot. Dead,” Edwards told UFC commentator Joe Rogan during his post-fight interview. “I said that all week I thought this was my moment. Everything that happened in the past. The last two years, the pandemic. There’s no ring rust. I told you, look at me now.”
Edwards improved to 20–3 (1 NC) with a win over Osman. His undefeated streak became 11. Usman saw his 19 fight winning streak in the blink of an eye and suffered his first loss in nine years.
